點擊次數：7065

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Edition included 10% Syrah and 5% Carmenere in its makeup. It spent 18 months in French and American oak. Notions of Asian spices, cedar, tobacco, earthy minerals, a hint of balsamic, and assorted black fruits set the stage for a full-bodied, dense, plush wine with layered black fruit, ripe tannins, and a lengthy finish. It can be approached now but will be at its best from 2013 to 2019. Importer: T. Edward Wines, New York, NY; www.tedwardwines.com

A serious Cab with red-fruit disposition, spice notes and earthy, smoky, mossy aromas. The palate is good and aggressive, with cassis, snappy acids, softening butter notes and vanilla. Lighter on the finish, with no excess weight or fat; more driving and jousting rather than lush, heavy or lumpy. ——M.S.(2/1/2011)—— 90

Aromatically, this is a very nice offering with solid berry fruit, cassis, spice and smoke. The palate feel is excellent, while the flavors of cherry and cassis are classic New World, deep and accented by tobacco on the finish. Lush and tannic; drink now through 2012.——M.S.(5/1/2010)—— 91
