Natalie's Score: 92/100

Depth, breadth, complexity, layered nuance, long finish, classic signature of the best Californian cabernet. It doesn't have to whack you over the head to be good, though some people (granted) could use that. Barlow Vineyards are located on the Silverado Trail between Calstoga and St. Helena in the heart of Napa Valley. Very dense cabernet the result of well-drained, down-sloped vineyards with low yields and cool nights.
