About the Wine: A growing problem in the red wine market it that some products are so successful that makers go through their stock too fast and end up releasing wines before they are ready in order to feed market demand. 2010 is shaping up to be a pretty good year for California Cabernet in the sense that when they are ready, 2010 Cabernets will be very good. Unfortunately, many of them are not ready. We will see if this one might is the exception.
About THIS Wine: A violet rim surrounds a purple center. Cedar is strong on the nose with prominent notes of forest floor. The front palate is nutty with sharp acidity in the mid palate ending in a dry raspberry finish.
Drinking This Wine: This could work as a sipping wine and it would go well with venison or seasoned red meat.
Overall Impression: The palate is still a little tight and underdeveloped. Put this is a cellar for two years and it will be fantastic. For now it's blunt and overpriced.
