Continuing our winning string of
Napa Valley appellation Cabernet Sauvignon, this 2007 example
offers deep fruit components in a firm, age-worthy yet eminently
drinkable package.
Reminiscent
of black cherry and plum, the fruit is accented with hints of herb
and cedar. Oak derived vanillin, caramel and spice flavors meld
with the dark fruits to lend a slight bittersweet chocolate note.
Fine tannins suggest some ageability (through 2017) while the
youthful flavors offer attractive near-term drinking.

seared rare) pair well with this firm yet food friendly Cabernet
Sauvignon.
