Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
750ml: 835603001303
Beautiful deep red color with perfumed aromas of ripe black cherries, strawberries and roasted cocoa beans. This wine is full-bodied and incredibly lush for a young Cabernet. It explodes on the palate with red and black fruits, then shows baking spices on its way to a mouthwatering finish. Pairs with a wide range of foods including beef, sausages, spiced or grilled pork, veal, rabbit, medium-strong cheeses, and meat-based pasta sauces.
Press:
89 Points, Wine Enthusiast, 2010
"Consistently a very good Cabernet, with big, broad roasted aromas backing solid black fruit. The palate is rich, rugged and powerful, with mildly baked plum and blackberry flavors. Oak and vanilla show up on the finish, which is round and the slightest bit herbal. Drink now through 2012."
89 Points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, 2010
"Bright ruby-red. Musky, claret-like aromas of currant, briary tobacco and smoke, plus a whiff of sweet butter. Sweet and lush in the mouth, offering considerable early appeal. The briary berry flavors stand up to the ripe, building tannins."
89 Points, Wine Spectator, 2010
"Ripe and round, with a delicious core of red currant, plum and fig fruit gently laced with sweet spice and licorice notes. The fruit is bright and persistent on the finish. Drink now. 3,000 cases made. --J.M."
