Black as the night in the glass. A clone of the 19 vintage, only more sexy and voluptuous. Round, curvaceous and supple on the palate. Presents cocoa and a hint of barrel toast. So opulent and pure. Tannins are awesome and the acidity is bright. More brilliance from Jason Moore…

Brilliance in a glass. Generous, rich and opulent. Loads of coffee notes and rich fruits. Bold tannins suggest that this is ready for the long haul. Worth every cent…

Exceptional wine from the Modus winemaker (Jason Moore). The best we’ve had from this producer. I’m going back to the well.

I can tell this Cabernet Sauvignon is well-made. In 10 years it will likely be very enjoyable. Right now it is so strong it will overwhelm anything you pair it with. I had it with lamb chops. It is too bold now. Even 2 hours could not calm it down.
