The 2015 Hesperian Cabernet Sauvignon Kitoko Vineyard ($150) is winemaker Philippe Langner’s homage to beauty (Kitoko is the Congolese Lingala word for “beautiful”), a bombshell of a Napa Cab, one to buy now for drinking later, perhaps much later, like on your 10th anniversary. From the rocky soil of a drought vintage has emerged this concentrated, dark berry and umami-spice-inflected lovely wine.
