"1978 was a great, great year for Napa cabernet sauvignon and the Martha’s Vineyard is an utterly profound example of the vintage. The celestial nose soars from the glass in a mélange of red and black cherries, a touch of blood orange, mint, chipotle pepper, allspice, cigar smoke, a touch of nuttiness and a bit of orange zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and rock solid at the sappy core, with flawless balance, stunning transparency, very little remaining tannin and laser-like focus on the hauntingly complex and endless finish."
