Bright medium ruby. Black raspberry, boysenberry, dark chocolate and sexy soil tones on the nose. Densely packed, layered and deep, with a restrained sweetness and good acid nerve to the dark berry and mineral flavors. Spreads out nicely on the back, finishing with a medicinal reserve that gives grip to the firmly tannic, slightly dry-edged finish. Showing just a whiff of this cabernet's characteristic floral quality today.

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a glorious perfume of spring flowers, blueberries and black currants, good acidity and serious tannins as well as concentration. It is slightly more restrained and backward than the seamless, compelling 2007, but the 2008 possesses lots of stuffing as well as elegance married with purity, power and rare equilibrium.

Firm, dense and chewy, deep and concentrated, with complex currant, dried berry, blueberry, mineral, sage, cedar and tobacco flavors. Very tight, this needs of aeration and/or cellar space. Ends with an aftertaste of loamy earth.

An absolutely incredible, well-balanced wine that was good to go after a brief decanting. Incredibly smooth finish and a beautiful nose.
