Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2012

(blended with 7% malbec and 1% merlot): Bright ruby-red. Aromas of black cherry, minerals, licorice and chocolatey oak, lifted by a violet note. A fat, sweet, rich fruit bomb, not yet complex but mouthfilling without going overripe or exotic. The black fruit and floral flavors carry well on the finish, which features broad, chewy tannins.

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon 10th Anniversary Cream Label is a huge, luscious wine that coats the palate with masses of soft, textured fruit. This is an especially seamless, voluptuous wine with all of its elements in perfect balance. Ripe juicy cherries, plums, spices, licorice and tar are just some of the notes that flow effortlessly to the long, polished finish. This is an impressive showing. The blend is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec and 1% Merlot. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. Tel. (707) 259-1681
