This iconic Napa Valley producer doesn’t disappoint with the 2008 version of its classic Cabernet. The nose is rich in spiced plums, generous red fruits, cloves, toasty spice and fine oak notes. It’s supple and polished on the palate with plums, blackberry, cassis, liquorice and a subtle yet defining note of eucalyptus through the finish. It’s a big, fruity Cab from Napa but balanced with acid and spice. Wonderful. Pair with grilled flat-iron steak with maitake mushrooms.
