I have never been a fan of Leighton's Cabernet Sauvignons. However, the 1988 Cabernet Sauvignon-Reserve-Sonoma is the best young Cabernet I have tasted from Kalin. It possesses a deep dark, ruby/purple color, sweet, ripe aromas of cassis and herbs, medium to full body, soft tannins, and excellent clarity and definition. Approachable now, it ideally needs 4-5 years of aging. Based on the fact that Kalin's previous Cabernets have evolved far more gracefully than I predicted, this wine should last for 12 -15 or more years.
