Allie Merrick and Peter Eizel of MyWineWords found the 2005 Cabernet ‘beautiful’ (and more!) in this video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3VY8uM4z4s
Gotta love a Napa Cabernet that is found to be both regal and royal on the palate. With eucalyptus and dark fruit notes on the nose, the palate pleases with more black fruit and cooking spices. Refined tannin and respectable acid make this 2005 an exceptional bottle of Spring Mountain Cabernet from Smith-Madrone.

The ‘title’ is a reference to a sculpture honoring an Argentinean journalist who practiced his craft in the 1930s before literally dying for his words. No such drama here, just hopefully some provocative fun.
