Sensational. Liquid sild, blackcurrant, licorice, heavy spice, hugely satisfying. An unfortunate but predictable 14.77 per cent alcohol volume. A lingering concord grape sweetness on the finish. The epitome of a superb new world CS.

Price: Bought in the US. No receipt. $40+ USD is my recollection.

Market Liquidity: What you want when you want California Cabernet Sauvignon.
