Unidimensional. Not much variety characteristics. Tannins dominate on opening and not much better after an hour. Couldn't get much of anything from this wine.

Saturdays at One - Volume 28: Tasted blind. Garnet to dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of blueberries, Kirsch, white pepper and a hint of smoke. Flavors of black berries and black cherries. Medium acidity, firm tannins, medium body. Drink now with some air time or continue to hold into the short to medium term perhaps. 89+ in my book. My guess is this is the 2006 Perata Vineyards "Frank's" Cabernet Sauvignon.

Blind Tasting (Farpointe Cellar): The nose had blackberry and blueberry, and just a touch of raspberry. The palate had cedar and blackberry, and little cherry and blueberry, and some vanilla on the finish.

Rich, medium bodied. Good structure. An herbal component, in a good way. An honest Cab, and the price is pretty sharp. ($20)
