Tasted two bottles. This is a new producer out of the Livermore Valley that is starting to get noticed for its Cab Sauv and Cab Franc, and this wine shows why. Juicy, layered with plum and nicely integrated tannins, Cuda sources from several vineyards around Livermore, then ages it all in 75% new French oak for 18 months. ——V.B.(9/1/2011)—— 88
