Tasting notes
Rather dank oily oak. Sweet start. Pretty heavy with lots of alcohol and sweetness on the palate and the acidity not really integrated. (JR)

Deep ruby. Ripe cherry and blackcurrant aromas are lifted by peppery spice and floral notes, with a hint of spicecake in the background. Smooth and fleshy on the palate, offering round dark berry compote flavors that become spicier with air. Leading with its fruit today and showing very good depth. Finishes sweet and very long, with slowly building velvety tannins. (JR)
The saturated ruby/purple-colored 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (100% Cabernet Sauvignon; just under 1,000 cases produced) was aged 30 months in French oak (50% new). It reveals an attractive, tightly knit nose of forest floor, blackberries and black currants, a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel, and plenty of structure, tannin, depth and richness. Clearly built for long-term cellaring, this textbook mountain Cabernet Sauvignon should be consumed between 2017 and 2030. It is the finest Laurel Glen Cabernet Sauvignon I have tasted in over a decade. Tel. (707) 933-9877
