Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 J Daniel Cuvee bursts forth with gregarious blackcurrant pastilles, black cherries and warm plum notes backed up by notions of spice cake, mocha and licorice. The full-bodied palate is powerfully fruited with opulent exotic spices accenting the black forest cake notions, framed by plush tannins and finishing with epic length. A beautifully buxom showstopper!

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon J. Daniel Cuvee is an inky, full-bodied, majestic Cabernet Sauvignon that should be a candidate for perfection in a decade. Black currants, the essence of blackberries, crushed rocks, gravely minerality and charcoal all emerge from this incredible, full-bodied, massive wine that’s still backward and tight. Brought up in 80% new barrels, forget bottles for 3-4 years and enjoy over the following 2-3 decades. Bravo!

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon J. Daniel Cuvee is every bit as compelling as it was last year. Powerful and dramatic, the 2015 bursts from the glass with tons of intensity. The black cherry, chocolate, plum, mocha, licorice and new leather flavors are all amped up. Even with all of its overt richness, the 2015 shows quite a bit of detail in its layered personality and feel. All the elements simply meld together effortlessly.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Do you know how much you can spend on a double 98+-pointer? $200? $600? More. Way more. Robin Lail, with her rich history in the Napa Valley has made a TITANICALLY delicious, dead-serious Cabernet with winemaker Philippe Melka, and it is priced within grasp of mere mortals. A fantastically intense, concentrated, gorgeous 2015 of epic proportions! The 2016 just got rated 100 points from Wine Advocate too!
