title: Stuhlmuller Vineyards 2008 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
description: Stuhlmuller's regular 2008 Cabernet, released a year ago, was quite good. This one's even better. It has all the hallmarks of a superior Cabernet, with rich, delicious blackberry, cherry, licorice, Dr. Pepper cola and oak flavors, framed into soft, intricate tannins. With a pleasant minerality, it should age well through 2016, gradually losing fruit.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Reserve
