點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：11636

Composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve ratchets up the quality level displaying more wood and tannin. Medium to full-bodied with lots of black fruit and spice characteristics, this pure, rich, classic Napa Cabernet can be drunk now and over the next 10-15 years. Tel. (707) 963-9454

Aromas of smoke, burnt toast, cream, cedar, coffee and blackberry. Full bodied and rich with elegant acidity and well-balanced alcohol. Grainy but pleasant tannins and a long finish with some minerality. Enjoyable and restrained forward, juicy style. Drink 2012. Alc: 14.5%. (16.67 points)

The tannins on this Cabernet, which contains 5% Merlot, are tough and gritty. The blackberry, currant and smoky oak flavors are just fine. The question with such an awkward texture in youth is if the wine will resolve with age. In this case, probably not, so drink up.——S.H.(11/1/2011)—— 88

Rich boiled sweet, black fruit, graphite and lavender perfume. Very well structured, this is plump and round. A big, fleshy style with grippy tannic support. Hedonistic.
