Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Napa Valley, California, United StatesRich open, spicy, cassis, curry, vanilla nose flecked with menthol, coffee, black olive and barnyard notes. The attack is smooth and round up front but quite dry and warm in the back end. Look for chocolate, vanilla, cassis jam, cedar, blackberry, tobacco, prune and olive flavours. A touch of green on the finish but has good balance. Drink now or over the next three years with grilled meats.Tasted: 21 August 2012Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $100.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
