York Creek Cabernet Sauvignon ‘Estate’ 2007

SPRING MOUNTAIN | CALIFORNIA | $50
Black cherry and plum fruit with dark berry accents, and notes of violets, orange zest, bay and black pepper. Firm tannins provide structure and a pleasant acidity adds brightness. Full bodied with a silky texture. There’s an easy complexity at play revealing stand-out flavors alongside well-integrated ones. You think you know this one, but there’s more than pleasantly meets the eye. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. A very good wine. (Reviewed 12/30/12)
