Last Call on these Major 2009 Cabernets!

2010 Montes Alpha M Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz, Chile, Pre-Arrival Price $79.99
Beautifully concentrated, with a floral undertone to the rich yet racy wild berry, cassis and damson plum skin fruit character that’s tightly wound around fine tannins. The finish is long and compact, but this needs time in the cellar to fully shine. Best from 2014 through 2020. From Chile.

2009 Merryvale "Profile" Proprietary Red Wne, Napa Valley

The 2009 Profile bursts on the palate with an exciting array of black fruit, smoke, tar, licorice and grilled herbs.

2009 Forman Cabernet Sauvignon Napa, Valley
On Sale $82.99
The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is stunning. An exotic, open bouquet melds into dark red fruit in this racy, sexy Cabernet. Espresso, graphite, crushed flowers, spices, mint and licorice are some of the notes that emerge from the glass. All of the elements flow together gracefully to the refined, supple finish. The 2009 will take a few years to come around, but it is dazzling and immensely appealing, even today. The blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot and Merlot, all from Forman’s vineyard at the base of Howell Mountain. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039.

2008 Forman Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
On Sale $79.99
Good deep ruby-red.  Cool aromas of blueberry, menthol and flowers; smells delicate.  Then surprisingly creamy, round and sweet in the mouth, with a faint herbal edge giving shape and verve to the redcurrant and plum fruit.  Lovely pliant wine in a rather easygoing style, finishing with smooth tannins.  This should be approachable young and age well on its balance.

2009 Sheridan Cabernet Sauvignon Block 1, Yakima Valley (4 bottles)
On Sale $125.99
The 2009 Block 1 is thicker, richer, more velvety, and more pleasure-bent than the 2008. It is a candidate for perfection once it goes into bottle.
