This is the 2013 “Vanquish” Cabernet from Modus. Operandi. Opening to this day is blossoming and plush with flavors that evolve with each swig.

On the nose, lush, ruby, ripe, sweet cassis. Blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries and hues of blueberries, green bell pepper, vanilla, sweet tarry notes and fresh dark floral bouquet. On the palate, nice, rich, ruby, sweet fruits of; blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries& blueberries. Tarry notes, black licorice, green bell pepper, rich black soils, very soft oak influence, soft volcanic minerals, beautiful round acidity, seriously well polished, full, rich finish. Wine of the tasting.

Got to enjoy this lovely Napa cab with the winemaker his self, Jason Moore, along with his red blend Vicarious. Though both were good, this one stood out. The wine was almost black as it hit the glass. Nose smelt of blackberries and a bit of tobacco. Tastes of black & blueberry jam. Tannins are still heavy...give this another 3-5 years.
