How nice it is to find a serious California Cabernet with real tannic structure, full flavor, and more than simple sweetness in the glass. Kuleto’s 2009 is filled with plumy and dark berry fruit, but includes elements of savory spice that gives the wine genuine complexity. Enjoyable now, it will benefit from two to five years of cellaring.
