2010 Ovid, Cabernet Sauvignon, Loc Cit, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml) [Only 2 Barrels]

AG98 "Ovid's 2010 Loc Cit (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) emerges from two adjacent blocks on the property planted with Clone 4 Cabernet. Rich, layered and totally voltuptuous, the 2010 impresses for its vibrant red fruit and stunning personality. Iron, smoke, tobacco, cedar and a host of earthy notes all add complexity, with vibrant notes of underlying minerality that provide support. With time in the glass the flavors become increasingly vivid in a dramatic Cabernet Sauvignon that captures the essence of this pristine site on Pritchard Hill. What a gorgeous wine this is." AG for VM Dec 2012

Antonio Galloni for RobertParker.com writes, "Ovid keeps raising the bar with this drop-dead gorgeous set of new releases. Owners Dana Johnson and Mark Nelson have spared no expense in their pursuit to make world-class wines. These new releases are a testament to their unwavering commitment to quality. This year I also tasted two of the ‘Experiment’ series wines, which bear creative names inspired by Dana Johnson’s background in Library Sciences. The talented Austin Peterson makes the wines, Andy Erickson consults and David Abreu manages the vineyards, but what really counts is what is in the bottle. The results so far from this young property have been nothing less than stellar." Published: Dec 26, 2012
