  Very enjoyable wine! Flavors of fruit and dark chocolate balanced with medium tannins. Long finish.

  2008 Brandlin. RS 91
  88% cab sav, 6% malbec, 4% cab franc, 2% petit verdot
  Big cab with berries from Mount Veeder presenting with dark berry jam and hues of carmel, vanilla, dried apricot and cedar. Excellent cellar potential given solid tannins and acid structure.

  88% cab, 6% malbec, 4% cab franc, 2% petit verdot. Classic Bordeaux blend for this big Californian Cabernet Sauvignon. present. Expressions of carmel, dried apricot cedar. High focused tannins will allow for a 5 - 10 year cellaring time.
