Score 90/100 · Drink 2016-2030, Robert Parker, Oct 2013

The dark purple 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Obsidian has the smell of pen ink, licorice, blackberry and wet rocks. Full-bodied, muscular, rich and brooding, this big wine requires patience. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2030. This is an interesting set of wines from a hobbiest on Howell Mountain. Even though Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc prices are rising into the stratosphere, there is little to complain about qualitatively. I also tasted a 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Obsidian (rated 92) that was very impressive and still extremely young, so these wines may have even greater aging potential than I have suggested. Tel.
