and an incredible sense of texture
you owe it to yourself to seek out a bottle with this kind of age in good vintages
The rest of the palate is classically Bandol - game fat
More interesting are the highly energetic and intensely stony ultra-refined flavors that exhibit excellent persistence on the focused and balanced finale

Strala Vineyards, Napa Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvingnon 2017 Other and an incredible sense of92 Vinous The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is dense, powerful and juicy. Black plum, blackberry jam, tobacco, licorice, spice and leather infuse the 2017 with tons of depth and sheer volume. Although not especially subtle, this super ripe, bold Cabernet has more than enough going on to reward a decade or so of fine drinking. (AG) 09 2020
