($17): This well-proportioned beautifully balanced Cabernet is a fabulous buy.  In addition to its succulent black fruit flavors, herbal, almost tobacco, notes delight the senses.  Not overly fruity or heavy, these non-fruit flavors persist into the long finish.  Supple fine tannins add to the polish and elegance of the wine. 91 Michael Apstein Feb 10, 2009
