2009 Stormy Weather
Freshly cut flowers, spices, raspberry jam and mocha are some of the many nuances that emerge from the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2009 has plenty of fruit and depth, but not quite the stunning, drop-dead gorgeousness of the 2008. Nevertheless, it is intriguing and beautiful. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. 91 Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate Dec 2012)
