Product Description

RP100 "One has to love the name of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon The Beast, which is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon blend from all of their estate vineyards, most of it coming from the St. Helena Mountain with other sites represented as well. This is one of the smaller production cuvées of only 250 cases. This wine seems to have pretty much everything going for it. It’s inky bluish/purple showing notes of incense, graphite, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, classic crème de cassis, earth and spice. The wine has enormous body, voluptuous texture and a finish that must last 50+ seconds. This is an amazing effort and by no means a wimpy wine -- coming in at 15.6% natural alcohol. This should drink well for 30+ years." RP Dec 2015
One of the bright, shining stars of Napa is David Del Dotto’s winery. His faux-Italian villa gets mixed reactions from the locals, but there’s no question that the wines are of impeccably high quality, and certainly world-class in every sense. Published: Dec 30, 2015
