Tasting notes
A fabulous example of this great vintage, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is loaded with blue and black fruit, savory herbs, licorice, incense and menthol, all supported by the firm tannins that are one of the hallmarks of the year. The slightly gamy notes typical of this bottling are present, but, at the same time, there is more than enough fruit to balance those elements. This is a decidedly dark, brooding wine, but at the same time, it has more finesse than the 2009. In 2010 the Cabernet Sauvignon is composed of fruit from Red Hen, Crystal Springs, State Lane, Las Piedras and Max. This is a great showing from Stewart and winemaker Paul Hobbs.
