Schug is one of the wineries that sticks in my mind for greatly improving the quality of their Bordeaux reds in recent years. This Cab, with a little Merlot and Cab Franc, is a great value in its price range. It’s dry and balanced, with rich, ripe black currant, chocolate and earthy flavors, and will easily stand up to fancy fare at the table.——S.H.(5/1/2007)—— 88
