I sampled this at The Wine Club in SF a week ago. They sold out of their two case pre-release in a day. Actually, the bottles never hit the floor. The official release date is 10/12. I was at the winery looking for it on Tuesday, but they would not sell it. This is an incredible value at $65 and well desrving of the 94 point WS rating and, in my estimation, worthy of higher. What is most striking about this medium body cab is the seamless integration of elements it has at such a young age. Coffee, currant, chocolat, and cherry are in perfect concert. Oak and tannin frame the fruit without being obtrusive. Not heavy on glycerin or acid, but breathtakingly pure fruit flavors. This is a beautiful, if not overpowering wine. If it continues to gain weight, watch out.
