In my searce for some solid daily drinkers I think I've found a solid front-runner. This Napa cab from Beckstoffers Vineyard Georges 111 in Rutherford caught my attention last night and forgetting I'd already had my quota for the day I opened this hummer for Din-Din. Brite ruby. Nice aromatics. Red fruits, some spices and a whiff of the dust come thru. Finishes just shy of the 4 lapper. Some soft tannins suggest this has a little more time to gain more complexity. A nice find and a box will come home with me today. 89/90 32 by the box 14.9% alc. WW ( By-the-by PW I forgot to mention this ole' bod is moving about 42% slower this morn but, like you after the D'yquem, it be worth it! )

And the price is?
I love how easy it is to forget a quota; it's one of those gifts from Providence.
Oops, I just saw the price, cancel my question.

Don't blame you for missing it offhand Foodie; 32 a pop isn't everyone's everyday drinker.

IK,
I didn't want to point that out, for fear that everyone would discover how wealthy that geezer WW is...$32 x 7 days a week (x 2 at my house), hmmm.
