This wine is a bit light on the scale of Inglenook Cabs. It still has a decent tannic structure that has smoothed out nicely and has left it with a silky texture. Aromas of cassis, tobacco, spice, and oak greet you on the nose. Followed by flavors of ripe red cherries, currant, and white pepper. It still has a decent finish, but short for a Cab. I have one bottle left in my cellar, and I'll be drinking it soon.

Decent, not spectacular. Certainly not in the same class as the 2007 Cask Cab I had last week. Medium purple color, short finish, not extremely rich or memorable.

I agree with a previous post, that this is thinner than others I've tried from the same producer. As usual, the main flavor is of fresh sweet fruit. I had expected more from the magical 2007 vintage. Perhaps 2007 was not the best in Rutherford. Still an enjoyable wine.

Smooth, well-structured and delicious with bit of spice at the finish
