Sausal Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley, USA

點擊次數(shù)：3574

Soft and still fairly tannic at the age of four–plus, with the herbal taste that often marks Alexander Valley Cabs. Yet there’s enough blackberry, currant and cocoa richness to satisfy. Should develop over the next six years. ——S.H.(3/1/2010)—— 87

Better known as a Zinfandel house, Sausal can sometimes surprise with their richly soft, intricately layered Cabs, and the ’04 is just that. It’s immediately likeable for the wealth of blackberries, chocolate, cedar and spice. Best now and soon.——S.H.(3/1/2009)—— 90

Made in a slightly old-fashioned way, with real tannins of the dusty, dry kind and a rich earthy, mushroomy angle to the blackberry fruit, this is a friendlier food companion than some of those opulent Cabs from “the other side of the hill.”——S.H.(4/1/2007)—— 90

Soft in acids and gentle in tannins, and a little sweet on the finish, this Cab has cherry marmalade and spice flavors. ——S.H.(11/1/2005)—— 84
