The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous wine laced with freshly cut flowers, dark raspberries, mint, spices and licorice. It shows gorgeous finesse in a mid-weight, vibrant style that is immensely appealing. A long, pointed finish rounds things out in style. The Cabernet Sauvignon includes 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. 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
