Per’s Pick A remarkable wine by long time winemaker Paul Draper made from the cooler climate in the Santa Cruz Mountains. When the wine was released it was quite backward and tannic but has aged gracefully and is now a beautiful and complete wine. Anyone who is looking for a classic California cabernet should try this wine.
