This bottling blend comes to us from the same producer as Lot 10 and features a fantastic combination of Atlas Bench estate fruit with a significant portion sourced from the "vineyard that must not be named" that straddles Atlas Peak to Pritchard Hill. 

Normally priced well north of $125/bottle, this dynamite Cabernet Sauvignon has consistent 93-and 94-point scores from both Parker and Dunnuck for the last two vintages.

Trust me folks, you are going to want to jump on this one!

Inky and totally opaque in the glass but beautifully aromatic with cassis and blackberry notes, spring flowers, milk choclate, seasoned oak and fresh-turned black earth. With air it becomes more expressive layering in nervy olallieberry, pie spice and graham cracker. Fleshy on entry, juicy yet muscular, a touch more feminine and pretty than Lot 10 (a moose of a wine) but still quite substantially structured with silky, big-grained tannins that carry beautifully attenuated red and black fruits layered over mineral-laced tannins. This is the classic "iron fist, velvet glove" Cabernet but with a sexy, energetic palate quite a bit more open knit than its big brother, Lot 10. . Perfectly ripe, rich and powerful yet nervy and energetic with a fantastic magic carpet ride of a finish, this is an absolutely stunning wine!
