Tasting note

There's no doubt Killian chose the finest lots for his 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Winemaker's Reserve. It simply has more of everything in it. Deep bluish/purple with lots of blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with graphite, pen ink, spicy oak, licorice, and earth, the wine is full-bodied, rich, and should be an impressive value even at the full mark-up of $40 when released in a year or so. This wine should evolve for 12-15 or more years. Score - 90-93. (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, Feb. 2011)
