The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon The Loin is a rich, textured wine that presents a full-bodied, opulent expression of Cabernet. It literally bursts from the glass with a rush of super-ripe black fruit, cassis and tar, all of which are woven together in a supple, engaging style. Hints of over ripeness and sweetness are a bit distracting, but there is no denying the wine’s fat, explosive personality. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2017. Tel. (805) 736-1455, info@babcockwinery.com
