Score 96/100 · Robert Parker, Sep 2022

The 2017 Las Posadas Proprietary Red—from a vineyard that sits above the fog line on Howell Mountain—is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Scents of caramel and singed sage join notes of dark chocolate and cassis on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is more silky than velvety, showing impressive elegance for a Cabernet-based wine from a mountain site. Already reasonably accessible, it should drink well for close to two decades.

Wow. Blackberries, lead pencil, dried flowers, black olives and purple fruit. Full body and super polished and refined tannins. Creamy and well defined. So polished. Nutmeg, clove and other dried spices. It goes on for minutes. Superb. Drink after 2024.
