Tasting notes
A classic example of this varietal, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon offers damp forest floor, plum, spice, and black currant notes intertwined with a vague autumnal, leafy character. With an attractive inner-core of sweet cassis, medium body, and rare elegance, finesse and restraint, it should drink well for 15+ years. Tel. (707) 944-9665

Sweet, generous oak. Black fruit, friable tannins. All upfront fruit. A wall of flavour. Technically irreproachable but doesn’t entirely engage the imagination. (RH)
Readers looking for a delicious, approachable wine that won't break the bank should check out Oakville Ranch's 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon. Plums, juicy black cherries, spices and a hint of French oak jump from the glass as this racy, juicy Cabernet flows from the glass. This is a forward, highly enjoyable wine to drink while the fruit retains its vibrancy.
