Very deep, dark, almost sweet. Lots of stuffing. Not very complex but it's very delicious in a hedonistic way.

Hot damn! What a wine. A nose that reminded me of Fruity Pebbles moves to a fantastic combo of plush jammy preserves with mild spices.

Probably WOTN although I think the Abreu is a better wine. This one just went better with the food as opposed to the Abreu which should have been decanted and had on its own.

An unbelievable full body cab that can stand up to the best.

Quite possibly the best Cabernet Sauvignon I’ve ever had.
Frank Family Tasting - 5/5

Another piece of history from Napa. 2013 vintage. Rumor has it that RP gave this wine and vintage a perfect score. Can’t disagree but I’m not RP. At Scala in downtown Napa.
