winemaker's notes:

"Good full ruby. Blackberry and graphite on the nose. Crunchy and young, with flavors of crushed black fruits. Less densely packed than the 2004 but this serious cabernet is evolving very slowly."

  A perfect moderately priced Napa Cab - 2/11/2009
I would buy this wine again
The winemaker's notes on this one are accurate. Everything you want in a moderately priced Napa Cabernet and more flavor and finess than is present in the RM Napa Valley Cabernet. NOTE, I bought several of these in 12/08 when wine.com was selling it for $27 - a steal at that price.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
Green Wines
Wines that use sustainable, organic and/or biodynamic practices in the vineyard and/or winemaking process. We rely on a number of U.S. and International certifications to qualify wines "green."
Collectible wine

These wines are made in limited quantities and are typically produced from single vineyard sources or made by small, artisanal wineries. While the winery may produce larger quantities, we limit wines with this designation to a 1,000 case production.

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
