Wine reviews
The beautiful 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Blind Justice from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard displays lots of spice, crème de cassis, incense and forest floor notes with a touch of oak in the background. With supple tannins, wonderful richness and opulence as well as full-bodied power, this is a brilliant Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the true first-growth vineyards in Napa. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. This innovative project from a California wine retailer brings the 19th century Old West’s morals and standards of conduct to some of Napa Valley’s great vineyards..-RP
Captures the rich density of ripe blackberry, plum and wild berry fruit, with touches of black licorice, dried herb and savory. Ends with firm, gripping tannins and pretty oak shadings. Drink now through 2024. 177 cases made. –JL
