At least it didn't catch on fire...
I will say this - In deference to Silver Oak, Heitz, et al: Cabernet Grapes are easy to grow. Finding someone to part with a few vines of good Cab to press and make wine from is not that difficult (if you live here anyway). But my earlier point still holds - it's really hard to work in small quantities. You can't control aging and don't have enough material for final blend (it's not always 100% Cab, but it is always 100% Pinot Noir).
I'm not a Parker fan - so as long as you are chasing 92+ pt wines, you will pay for them. But there are many small wineries making outstanding wines -- finding them is rewarding work!
