Kenwood Vineyards, Sonoma County (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Oct 29, 2014

By Rich Cook

Long one of California’s flagship wines, this vintage draws from Sonoma Valley, Alexander Valley and Dry Creek Valley fruit and the art of Keith Wicks in a package that will please the sailors on your gift list as well as Sonoma Cabernet fans everywhere. Aromatics show a top layer of mint and eucalyptus, but further exploration reveals deep blackberry, cassis, mild dried herbs, vanilla and faint fall spice. The palate shows big acid structure, with medium weight and flavors that reflect the nose and are just beginning to integrate.  This is a wine for the long haul, continuing a tradition of over 35 years of excellence. Bravo!
