Lindstrom Cabernet Sauvignon - 2009 (750ml)

Deeply expressive black and blue fruit, menthol, violets and spices burst from the inky-colored 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon. A totally round, seamless wine, the 2009 is endowed with serious depth and power. Despite its considerable immediate appeal, the 2009 needs time in the glass to open up. As that happens, smoke, tar, licorice and scorched earth notes become more prominent, lending an air of gravitas. Today, the tannins retain some firmness, but as they begin to soften, the 2009 will offer considerable pleasure. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2029. Lindstrom’s Nicali Vineyard in Stags’ Leap is notable for a cool microclimate that produces small grapes packed with flavor, structure and incredible personality.
