Tasting note
James Laube of the Wine Spectator also gave this wine a score of 94 points. The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection is the first example of this cuvee to include Merlot (about 14%) in the blend. The Merlot component has given the wine a cocoa/chocolate nuance to its black currant, licorice-infused fruit. The tannins are velvety soft and the wine is beautifully textured and full-bodied. It is ideal for drinking now and over the next 15 years. Score: 94 (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, Dec. 2010)
