Referring to the altitude of the vineyards from which the grapes for this wine were sourced, here’s a defined and moderately intense Cab that delivers. Cassis, black berrry, tobacco leaf and a soft eucalyptus herbality appear throughout, with a suggestion of fresh coffee grinds unfolding on the finish. Balanced and structured with medium weight and appropriately gripping tannins. ——L.B.(4/1/2011)—— 87
