From an outstanding vintage in Napa Valley, this has all the earmarks of a classic Calistoga Cabernet, including dark garnet color, ripe red and blue fruit aromas with a complex array of baking spices, dried sage, and sweet oak. The first sip is full and broad, loaded with dark ripe fruit flavors and a savory texture. Value: $95/bottle, or $1,140/case
