David Greenwald brought this super-rare bottling from Stuhlmuller to John Durham's tasting. The only other dessert wine made from Cab Sauv that I know of is made at Van Der Heyden -- and they use botrytis fruit (instead of fortifying with brandy). Fortified or not, both of these dessert cabs are wonderful, and present classic cabernet flavors in a sugary melange that pairs wonderfully with chocolate treats. $45; 90 points
