About the Wine: 2007 was the best year in the last decade and maybe ever for California Cabernet. 2008 was a very good year, especially for those who prefer a dryer, steak wine style cab, but '08 will also be compared to '07 and will thus always been under appreciated. This is great news for someone looking for a good value.
About THIS Wine: It is red in the glass with no distinct rim. Cherry, caramel, smoke, and oak make up a pleasantly complex nose. The palate delivers a lot of jammy cherry with a dry finish. I did not get the complexity in the palate that I found on the nose.
Drinking This Wine: Definitely a steak wine. This one is a good representation of its vintage.
Overall Impression: I have had better for the same price but I have also had worse. This wine is reasonable for the price.
