On the nose, a medley of summer berries, bright cherry, cocoa powder and hints of caramel and butterscotch. On the palate, a beautiful balance of richness and luminosity with flavors of boysenberry, Bing cherry, nutmeg and toffee that lead into a round, memorable finish. This vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from our two estate vineyards -the organically farmed Rutherford Vineyard and sustainably farmed Persephone Vineyard in the northeast corner of the Napa Valley. After harvest, the fruit spent extended maceration time on the skins for deeper color and complex flavor components. It was then aged 18 months in 40% new French and American Oak. The 2007 vintage is comprised of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot.

Extremely straightforward; not complex. Nose of plum and cherry and the faint characteristic of caramel. Clear ruby color. Light-bodied, fruity, and super smooth. Feel like I could chug the bottle. Best as accompaniment with hearty, complex dishes where the wine serves more as an accent than as a partner.

As multi-layered a Cab as you'll find from this fine Cabernet growing region, the acidity, density of rich black fruit, smooth, yet firm tannins and abundance of dark licorice, mint and cassis make this an elegant, upscale beauty from one of the area's finest producers.

Very Rich wine. After breathing, tobacco and bramble notes are present. This pairs especially well with heavy foods including red meat.

Dark purple in color with aromas of blackberry jam and spices. It’s full-bodied, jammy, and rich with black currant and blackberries, with underlying tones of spice and a vanilla finish. The finish was moderately lingering with a pronounced currant after-taste. The tannins were smooth and velvety. Mirassou captures the essence of California’s popular Cabernet Sauvignons at an unbeatable price and quality. Along with Bogle, Gnarled Vine, Muirwood, and Angeline, Mirrasou is one of the top five Cabs (in my book) that belong on the table at parties, dinner parties, and social events; $8

Anyone who loves California Cabernet is familiar with Simi, I’m sure. With a long history in wine-making going back to the last quarter of the 19th century, it’s no wonder Simi’s 2006 Cab from Alexander Valley is such a rich, supple, example of classic California Cabernet. Ruby red with aromas of plum, raisins, and dark berries, and flavors consisting of spice (perhaps mint), berries, and some cassis. Tannins are lush and silky and the wine has a lengthy and slightly tobacco finish. The Cab was aged 14 months in 38% new French oak, 25% new American oak. Steve Reeder is the winemaker. Highly recommended for its great taste and value; $16

Folks, this is the value of the year for California Cab Sauv lovers. Bogle earned an impressive 90 points from Wine Enthusiast, which of course says that the wine has impressive complexity, but the important thing is that it just tastes damn good. Aromas of plum, black cherries with chocolate, and flavors of ripe plums, chocolate, and maybe some vanilla on the finish. Speaking of which, the finish is not going anywhere soon. The Cab is structured very well, and balanced. The tannins are silky and luscious. I was shocked for $8. Enjoy with a slightly mild cigar as I did, or with your favorite grilled meats.
