The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Rattlesnake Hill brings together all of the elements of the house style in a rich, deep wine with plenty of structure to support its rich, expansive fruit. This is a beautifully centered wine with terrific delineation, intensity and balance. White flowers, spices, mocha, licorice and blueberry jam linger on the focused finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021. This is a very strong set of wines from Barnett Vineyards. As good as these wines are - and they are terrific - my sense is that with a little less new oak the fruit would shine through even more.Tel. (707) 963-7075
