  1977 California Cabernet horizontal. (Il Corso.): Greg explained that these folks are old grape growers that still grow grapes today, but that this was the one year they actually made a Cabernet Sauvignon wine. It was actually quite good. It had an even more velvety texture than the Stony Ridge Winery, with a richer and riper feel to the red fruit, though there was what I described as a rotten wood, though in a pleasant way, character to it. Chris described it more as rotten tobacco. Simple, low acid with the fruit showing a stewed character. Still, the mouthfeel made it quite enjoyable. B.
