Notes
|
| "The 2008 vintage shares the opulent flavor profiles of the 2007 and the mouth-coating tannins of the 2002. He describes this wine as possessing pungent aromas of blackberry, plums, black cherry and minerals. They are followed on the palate with flavors of blackberry pie, hoisin, black olive, and black cherry. The refined tannins make this wine more approachable now than the 2007. The wine will be at its best 5-7 years and will age up to 15 years." -winemaker |

Critics' Notes
|
| "From the Oakville estate of Plumpjack (the former Villa Mt. Eden Vineyard made famous by Nils Venge, whom I believe is still a consultant), the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate has a gorgeous nose of creme de cassis, licorice, and graphite. Flawlessly put together, with delicate tannins, full body, but elegance combined with power, this impressively pure, layered, multi-dimensional Cabernet Sauvignon is already drinkable. It needs another 5-7 years to gain complexity, but this is a superb 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon to be drunk now or cellared for two decades." -Robert Parker |
