The 2008 Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) - Cabernet Franc (15%) spent 16-18 months in new French oak. It offers up a slightly reticent but attractive nose of Asian spices, incense, cinnamon, clove, black currant, and blackberry. In the glass it opens to reveal a savory, incipiently complex wine with enough structure to evolve for 3-4 years. This balanced, lengthy offering will be at its best from 2015 to 2023. The Viento Norte wines are produced by Alto Roble.Importer: Puerto Viejo Wines, Miami, FL; tel. (419) 450-1271
