like the winery's other 2010 cabs, this 100% varietal wine is dry, soft and densely packed. in this case the flavors suggest oakville's black currants and cassis liqueur, with notes of violets, dried herbs and minerals. the tannins are finely ground, almost chalky, but still quite astringent. should negotiate the next 10 years effortlessly.
