Efeste Big Papa Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley 2009

Rating: *****

Price: $49

This wine will stop you in your tracks. Dark as night, the aromatics are arresting with floral notes, tarragon, black currant, licorice, and abundant mineral notes. A mouthful of a wine that lowers the boom with incredible purity, rich but still restrained fruit flavors and chalky tannins. A Cabernet Sauvignon prototype, this is a big (big) wine that could not be more appropriately named. Give it plenty of time to open up to see its best. Sampled at 60 degrees. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. 34% Klipsun, 29% Sagemoor, 20% Bacchus, and 17% Kiona vineyards.
