($40): This fine wine shows the gorgeous combination of herbal and fruit — cassis — flavors that makes Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon so enthralling.   The tannins are remarkably fine for such a dark and almost brooding wine.  A refreshing even so slightly bitter finish adds to its appeal.  Easy to enjoy today because of those fine tannins, it cries out for a rich beef or lamb dish.  It’s most definitely not a, “I’ll have a glass of red” before dinner type of wine.
