Another very good Cabernet from Fuse, at a great price, following the 2007. Blended with Syrah and Merlot, it's rich and soft in blackberries and cassis, with a peppered, smoked meat note that must come from the Syrah. Best now.

We are dedicated to making the best possible Cabernet Sauvignon and it shows in the bottle. Each step of the farming and winemaking process is undertaken with the great care and attention usually lavished on much higher-priced wines. Enjoy now or age for another ten years. This is what we strive for in a great bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Executive Producer: Ray Signorello
One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.
Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
