Good medium red. Aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate and licorice are perked up by a violet element. Juicy and pliant, with enticing inner-mouth perfume to the flavors of redcurrant, tobacco and iron. Finishes aromatic and long, with serious but suave mounting tannins and notes of mint and violet.

An outstanding value in Napa Cabernet, the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon's opaque ruby/purple hue is followed by copious notes of crushed rock, blueberry pie, pen ink and black fruits. Full-bodied, opulent and fleshy with impressive purity and a long finish, this terrific Cabernet can be drunk now or cellared for 15+ years.

Smooth-textured, building ripe wild berry, raspberry and blackberry fruit that's deep and concentrated, almost Zin-like in its vibrancy. Holds and maintains its focus on the long, persistent finish.
