10’ Rafanelli "Terrace Select" The best vines/barrels from the Vineyard. Known more for their exceptional Zinfandel. This wine is no slouch in their collection. Aged 3 years in new French oak . Raspberry pie, blackberries, iron. Medium +bodied. Crowd pleaser for sure. Drinking window is now. Without  question some of the finest Cabernet grown in the county.

Needs air but then it opened into a terrific wine.

Back at it @David A Lentine this time 2010. Full bodied. Black cherries, some currants and pepper. I can definitely smell french oak. Acidity moderate with a nice alcohol 14.5.%
Tannins linger with wonder. I wonder why the bottle is so small.
