The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Dead Fred Vineyards is flat-out beautiful. Layers of expressive dark fruit, smoke, tar, incense and graphite caress the palate in this highly articulate, refined wine. With time in the glass, the wine shows gorgeous inner perfume and sweetness. Today the oak is a bit pronounced, but the wine appears to have the depth to provide balance over time. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021. These are two beautiful wines from Selene and winemaker Mia Klein.Tel. (707) 258-8119
