You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better example of darkly powerful Cabernet Sauvignon for the money in all of California. The volcanic soils of Peter Molnar’s alien vineyard are riddled with chunks of glassy black obsidian. The soils here give rise to a unique and appetizing strain of Cabernet Sauvignon, dense with blackberry, broken rock, cedary spice and long, persistent fruit on the finish. If this wine is any indication, Lake County has arrived as a premier appellation.
