Calistoga, Napa Valley, California, USACalistoga, Napa Valley, California, USA1991 vintage. Arguably the best wine they ever made. Massive in its infancy and still packing a wallop all these years later. Plenty of fruit, structure, knitting and acidity. Heat is still noticeably prominent. Pretty damn close to the top of the bell curve if it isn’t straddling it currently. Still a top ten CA cab of all time for me. There have been many pretenders but few contenders to the Cabernet crown that this wine wore from 1987-1998.
