I hate to say it, but this stuff really is a higher class of vodka. No off, medicinal notes. No cloying artificial sweetness. It just tastes like the cleanest, purest spring water was made magically alcoholic. — 4 years ago
At $23 per, there is no better domestic or international SB on the market…

Great QPR on this bottling @Somm David T gave me the 411 on these a few vintages back
This is a layered narrative of dark fruits, a dash of black pepper, and that unmistakable hint of smoky earth. And undeniably funky. It’s not just about boldness; it’s about a refined grit, a raw elegance that speaks of rugged vineyards and uncompromising craftsmanship. — a year ago
Dark cherry and spice nose. More dark cherry on the palate with cola, plum, cooked strawberry, cinnamon, clove, oak, with a hint of cocoa. Medium plus alcohol, medium minus tannins, and high alcohol. — 4 years ago
Nose of tart fruit and spice which shows up in the palate as well. Silky tannins that take a little time to build up. Easy to drink for a medium bodied red. It's holding up well to hearty spicy chilli, and the spice of the food is letting the fruit show more through the spice notes of the wine. Curious to see how it develops when I have some tomorrow. — 7 months ago

It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a yummy Cabernet Sauvignon.
Inky in color with a short purple rim.
Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and spicy, with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.
Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, raisins, licorice, cedar, light vanilla, tobacco, mint, chocolates, coffee, cola and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Lake County in California. Fruit forward and rich. Smooth and elegant.
Shows nice complexity already, although still young. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Opulent and delectable. Delicious and engaging.
Good by itself as a sipping wine. Good right out of the bottle, and better with some air time.
A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak barrels. A small production of only 300 cases.
14.3% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
