92+ From this iconic winery in Napa, the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot) was aged 21 months in French oak with 60% new. No shy wine at 14.7% alcohol (the same alcohol content as there more expensive Yountville Selection), it has a youthful, dense purple color, freshness and acidity, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and pure crème de cassis and blackberry fruit along with spring flowers. Youthful and still on the ascent, it is capable of lasting another 15 or more years. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
