Began as black olives for miles but betrayed its fruit roots quickly enough, with baked black cherry, and a black plum mash; black currant and gingerbread-mocha notes sparkling on its grainy veneer. Torn violet petals. Lots of sediment, or pigmented tartaric crystals. Super elegant and fleshy mouthfeel is perhaps its most compelling nuance. Black currant, soft leather, smoke, a scribble of pencil, snuffed wick, teak, and black tea. Bittersweet chocolate remains like a cloud, suspended while most aspects fade. Leather friction.

I bought what was left of this from a retailer north of Austin for $24.97. Beringer sells it for $65, with Total Wine at $60, and Spec's is in the low $50s. I knew exactly what I was getting. The wine is like a casino. An overly dramatic facade with the wine equivalents of slot dings and clanks and loungey jazz. It is really hard not to like, but I'm sure its pleasure will burn a quick wick. 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Merlot, Cab Franc, Petite Sirah, and Malbec. The majority of the fruit comes from Howell Mountain, and the depth shows, despite the generous oak treatment. Blackberry jam, cedar, chocolate truffle and ganache, brand new leather, with secondary mint leaf and espresso. This is a much better wine than The Prisoner, which seems like an appropriate price point for something like this. — 7 years ago

Not drinking too much cab these days, but this was a nice Covid-19 “special treat” w/ Chris Clexton & Steve Wick. Can’t argue for $30/btl. will hold remaining 3 btls for 4-5yrs — 4 years ago

A stunning wine. An authentic representation of what I consider must be one of the most beautiful wine growing areas with incredibly endowed terroir of the world. Admittedly not in its ideal drinking window but this baby has a long wick to burn. — 8 years ago
