Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon
Santa Cruz Mountains, San Francisco Bay, California, USA
Not for the faint of heart. If you don't like complex hellish structure stay away. If you are still reading you will love glass after glass.
Oh, and they managed to throw some big rich black fruit in there too!

What a bold and silky smooth Wine. Not over the top expensive, but so amazingly good for the price. Complex, plumb and licorice with a hint of black currant that will knock you off your feet.

Utterly delicious!!! Put this bad boy through the Vinturi into a decanter, and I was on dream street after that!
I can't recall ever having a Cabernet from this legendary AVA, but this was spectacular. I read the notes on Monte Bello and Domain Eden, and always imagine these wines being tough in their youth, but glorious with aging time.
I'm very impatient when it comes to wine, so to have this wine singing at such an early period in life was very gratifying. Deep dark fruits laced with dark chocolate and vanilla bean were the highlights for me. The acidity started to firm up after about an hour and a half to indicate aging potential, but if you have the '13 you should give it a whirl.
Serious QPR! Keep em comin Courtney!
