* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
From a great vintage, a tight, young Cab just beginning to hit its stride. Grown in the cooler Coombsville area, south of Stags Leap, the wine is bright and brisk in both acids and tannins that give it firm structure. But it’s enormously rich in cassis and cherry fruit, and seems to have a good lifespan. Good now, and should live into the next decade.

Tasted alongside the wonderfully rich ’02, this Cab is leaner and more tannic. It shows an astringent lockdown, although there’s some good blackberry-cherry fruit down below. Lacks a bit of richness, but it’s still elegant. From the southerly Tulocay area.
