2007, Bogle Vineyards, California Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is a grape that takes its own sweet time, slowly lingering to ripen on the vine.  We are rewarded by its reluctance.  Overwhelming cherry and vivid plums create a welcome first impression, while touches of green tea leaves and leather nestle themselves among the spicy, saucy fruit.  Fourteen months in American barrels have produced touches of melted caramel and white pepper.  With well-integrated tannins and a rich and round finish, this wine will be a favorite for years to come.
