Lail Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon J. Daniel Cuvée Napa Valley Red) Bright full ruby. Explosive liqueur-like scents of black raspberry and chocolate plus a whiff of menthol. Compellingly large-scaled, full and opulent, conveying almost confectionery sweetness and chocolatey richness to its dark fruit, spice and licorice pastille flavors. Harmonious acidity and suave, well-integrated tannins give this wine lovely balance in spite of its serious ripeness and suggestion of youthful muscularity. This wine has plenty of baby fat to burn off and it may well last longer than my range suggests. A very flashy, modern Napa style.
