2005 PARADOR, Cabernet Sauvignon, Hossfeld Vineyard, Atlas Peak, Napa Valley

What the #@%&$!!?  Remember when this stuff was the best single vineyard Cab you could get for $75? Now it’s fifty bucks with the same incredible quality. Why? Who fucking cares? Just get some. Other winemakers charge up to $150 for wine from this same vineyard while accordion virtuoso, Steve Ventrello, is charging $50. Why? Because he’s hung like a mule and doesn’t need a new accordion, sports car, or Hummer to compensate for a tenny-weenie-peenie and a douchebag personality like the guys at ______ ______ Winery. (fill in the blank, it’s fun) This Cab has beautiful terroir displaying mineralistic earthy nuances rarely found in new world Cabernets. The wine is perfecty balanced, integrated, and built to age if you’re ‘clism* can handle it. Ultra pure and untainted flavors of raspberry, black cherry, olive, wet stone, tobacco leaf, and blackberry will satiate the most hard core Cabernet freaks.  If you haven’t paid attention for the past few years, Atlas Peak has become a superb appellation on par with Howell, Spring, and Diamond Mountain quality.
