Tudal Family Winery, Oak Knoll District (Napa Valley, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

 I particularly like slight hint of earthiness in this wine, and the suggestion of spice in the otherwise fruit-driven flavor profile.  The oak is nicely balanced so as to not dominate the overall tasting experience. With just a little more grip and oomph on the finish I would have been totally captivated.
