Great price for a Cabernet this smooth and tasty. Shows appealing blackberry and cherry flavors, with a sweet, smoky touch of oak. All five classic Bordeaux varieties constitute the blend.——S.H.(3/1/2012)—— 88

While I was unimpressed with a light, herbal 2007 Merlot, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (from vineyards in Napa, Mendocino, Sonoma, Knight’s Valley and Alexander Valley) is a soft, fruity effort with lots of herbaceously-tinged red and black fruits, plums and currants. This tasty Cabernet is best drunk over the next 4-5 years. Tel. (707) 431-7644; fax (707) 431-8640; www.murphygoodewinery.com
