Tasting notes
Medium garnet colored, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Few and Far Between comes sashaying out of the glass with drop dead gorgeous scents of kirsch, red roses and moss covered tree bark with a raspberry pie, plum preserves and dried mulberries core plus touches of tilled soil, tapenade, camphor, pencil lead and a waft of crushed rocks. Full-bodied and built like a brick house with tons of muscular black fruits, it has an amazingly firm yet approachable, finely grained structure with fantastic freshness, finishing with epic length and depth. I may have been a little conservative with my score here, as all indications point to a wine on a trajectory toward perfection.

(the only one of these cabernets that includes some cabernet franc): Bright ruby-red. Lovely floral lift to the aromas of black raspberry, blueberry, smoky minerals and musky brown spices, with a note of coconutty oak emerging with air. Large-scaled, chewy and rich, showing compelling early sweetness to its dark berry and saline mineral flavors. Wonderfully velvety, palate-staining wine with enough minerality to maintain its shape and balance. I found this a step up in concentration from the 2009 release.
The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Few and Far Between Vineyard shows the riper side of the vintage. Super-ripe black fruit, tar, licorice and new leather blast onto the palate. There is no shortage of richness or opulence here, although I don't quite find the level of complexity of the 2009. It will be interesting to see if that dimension develops over time.
The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Few and Far Between is super-impressive. Layers of dark fruit, espresso, flowers and sweet spices are woven together beautifully in this deep, expressive Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2010 builds with notable personality and character through the deep, resonant finish.
