Ulysses - Napa Valley 2016 Volume:750ML The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is a big-time winner

but it was also one of my favorites here

stony and beautifully delineated broad-shouldered flavors that display plenty of power and drive on the palate coating finish that goes on and on

its bright demeanor makes its fruit lifted and drives the medley of flavors home

The intense and tautly muscular middle weight plus flavors are even more refined if perhaps not quite as mineral-driven while delivering superb length on the balanced but markedly austere finish where a touch of cherry pit emerges
