"Juicy dark plums, chocolate, new leather and cloves are all wrapped together in the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that stands out for its juicy, extroverted personality. Another wine that is absolutely singing right now, the 2010 is all about richness and seduction. Last year, the French oak was intrusive, but since then the wine has come together very nicely. Readers looking for a juicy, engaging 2010 Cabernet to drink with minimum cellaring will find a lot to admire in this striking, expressive Cabernet Sauvignon."

California's most prestigious wine region, celebrated worldwide for opulent, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Diverse soils and mountain-to-valley-floor sites yield wines of remarkable ripeness, power and longevity.
St. Helena is a warm valley-floor sub-AVA in Napa Valley, California, producing rich, ripe and generously fruited Cabernet Sauvignon of supple tannins, plush texture and classic Napa structure.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
