Tasting notes
93% Cabernet Sauvignon. Warm, purple fruits on the nose and some heat and almost green tannins on the finish. Good fresh acidity but the whole is quite unknit at the moment. Tarry finish. (JR)

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Dancing Bear Ranch is a Howell Mountain blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Merlot. This prodigious 2010 tastes like a cross between a great Napa Cab and a top-notch Chateau Latour (no joke!). Wonderful notes of graphite, crushed rock, black currants and blackberries as well as stunning purity, terrific precision and a full-bodied mouthfeel that lingers for 50+ seconds make for a modern day classic. This iconic wine should last 30 or more years. Tel. (800) 588-0298
