07' Cakebread Benchland Select. Cabernet. 100% CB. It spent 22 months in slightly over 50% new oak.

This wine was shut down a few years back (Little fruit/wood ). Brick red in color. The Cab doesn't look like it's 9 years old. A full- bodied beautiful cab. This wine is open for business, with a short decanting.
Luscious black fruits. Moderate oak/ tannins, light acidity. Drinking now-? Love this also in the 08' . Screw the name. Purchase the wine!

Needed 30 minutes in the glass. Big, bold and rich with dark fruit, cassis and a layer of spice towards a lush and deep mouthful of a lengthy finish.
