Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 1, 2014 - Tasted non-blind over 4hrs against the following wines:

2009 Charles Smith Cabernet Sauvignon, Stoneridge Vineyard
Columbia Vly. My score: 94pts.
2011 Woodward Canyon, Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon. My score: 93pts.

I was a bit hesitant to pop this, given some professional and CT reviews indicating this Howell Mtn. cab needed more time. Although not at peak it was easily accessible, offering up a gorgeous nose of black, red and blue fruits followed by a rich yet elegant palate of blackberries, cassis and black cherries, sweet tannins, integrated oak nuances and a long, balanced finish. Delicious, start to finish! 95pts+
