Composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Malbec and 1% Merlot, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is a seriously endowed wine built for the long haul. An opaque purple color is accompanied by abundant blackberry, cassis, cedarwood, asphalt and charcoal characteristics, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. With high glycerin and sweet tannins, this big, rich, masculine-styled Cabernet will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and last for two decades. Tel. (707) 259-1681; Fax (707) 259-1740
