Friday, October 31, 2014 - California Cabernet Sauvignon at its best. That sums this bottle up. If you're seeking perfectly ripe fruit with so much intensity of flavor you can eat it, silky, velvety textures and a finish that lingers long after the wine has been finished, this is for you.

I have recent tasting notes from 1994 and other early vintages that have also aged nicely. www.thewinecellarinsider.com/california-wine/abreu-vineyards-cabernet-sauvignon-california-wine/
