Score 89/100 · Drink 2013-2018, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2011

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Family Reserve Oakville Estate is layered with black cherries, menthol spices and grilled herbs. This, too, is a sumptuous style, but with slightly better balance than the 2009 tasted alongside it. Despite the up-front richness, this runs compact and angular on the finish

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a beautifully focused, vibrant wine bursting at the seams with blackberries, currants, violets, spices and grilled herbs. The balance of fruit and tannins is striking in this fabulous, beautifully delineated Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2008 Reserve is 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023. Kirk Venge purchased the brand in 2008 from his father Nils and has been making the wines for Venge Family Reserve ever since. Tel. (707) 944-1305
