A historic label with a historic run of Cabernet Sauvignon (I once tasted the 1963 vintage at age 40 or so, and it was holding its own) brings another solid offering to market here. Dry style holds court here in an elegantly rustic way, with lots of brown spice serving as a foil for the dark berry fruit. It is very drinkable now, and will cellar well for the next ten years or so.
