Acclaim
The unoaked 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark ruby red with an attractive nose of spice box, violets, and assorted black fruits. Firmer on the palate than the regular Merlot bottling, it is a nicely proportioned offering that delivers excellent value in a wine meant for drinking over the next 2-3 years.
