The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon has weedy herbal red and black currant notes, medium body, and good spice. It lacks some concentration and intensity, as many of these Reverie wines do, but I like the balance and gracefulness. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Norman Kiken has been the long-time owner of this well-placed winery and estate on Diamond Mountain. I have had far greater wines from Reverie in the past, and this performance, although competent, certainly wasn’t one of their best. I also tasted both the 2007 and 2008 Petit Verdot, and really don’t think this varietal can stand on its own merit, even if it’s blended with some Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Both wines were mediocre at best.Tel. 800-REVERIE; fax (707) 942-6803
