Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2012

Bright red-ruby. Currant and chocolate on the nose; seems lower-pitched than the 2007 model. Moderately ripe and fleshy, with currant, cherry and licorice flavors complicated by earth, cola and herbs. Essentially supple cabernet with a light herbal quality on the back end.

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up plums, black cherries, licorice and grilled herbs in a somewhat compact, mid-weight style best suited to near-term drinking. In 2008 the blend is 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot.
