See my other notes on 90+ cellar wines.  6 months aged in French and American Oak, this is a crowd pleaser Cabernet.  On the nose, I pick up cherry, smoke, hints of plum.  On the palate it is a lighter Cabernet than anticipated.  This year is not as bold as some previous 90+ Cabs that I have tried, but gives a nice finish with some pepper, spice,  and acidity. For those Cab drinkers who like a medium complex wine, this one’s for you.
