BEST CABERNET SAUVIGNON - San Francisco International Wine Competition 2010 Double Gold Medal -
Winemaker Notes:
Our 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is primarily a product of the Hall Ranch vineyards. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes originate in the stony decomposed granite soils of our 'Bench Vineyard' and the rolling sandy loam terrace situated above the southern bank of the Estrella River of the 'Terrace Vineyard.' The fusion of intense fully ripe Cabernet Sauvignon from a sparse rocky site married to bright fruit-forward Cabernet produced on a more generous loamy soil yields a blend with opulent fruit, intriguing complexity, and satisfying structure.
My Notes:
Dark ruby color, intense flavors of black currant, ripe berry and hint of liquorish. Full bodied and very rounded- almost sliky. Subtle tannins. Medium finish. A 94 rating from Wine Spectator and 93 From Wilfred Wong. Although I don't think that highly of it, it's still an excellent wine for the money.
Bayareawinelover rating: 90
