The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is sleek and polished in its racy red fruit, mint, flowers and licorice. This is one of the more elegant 2008 Cabernets readers will come across. Bright red fruit and expressive floral notes are the signature elements in this mid-weight, gracious wine. The French oak is a bit obvious, suggesting this supple, forward wine is best enjoyed over the next few years. It is straightforward, yet delicious. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
