The only bear I will get near to! Enjoying Cab at @williamharrisonvineyardswinery #cabernetsauvignon #rutherforddust #napavalley #bearphobia #sainthelena #thewineho (at William Harrison Vineyards & Winery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxqJGcntfP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w8s1izpa8aoo

Bricking hard down deep underneath a still fairly dark ruby core. Big gaseous vanilla, alcohol and tired dusty mint in the nose--fruit shallow and flabby. This thing is going to fall apart in 5, 4, 3... I promise. In the mouth, a vapid red twizzler is all that's left for fruit--bitter underneath that--with still ample tannins, believe it or not, drying the finish. I mean--this is a pretty interesting experiment and I didn't expect much more than this from a $25 13 year old Napa cab with a weird name. Thin, out of balance, and not particularly enjoyable to drink. As they said in Repo Man, "Sad and demented-- but social." Or was that breakfast club. Or was that revenge of the nerds. Who cares.
