SLOW LANE CAB
Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
2004
AFFAIRS OF THE VINE 2007 Cabernet Shootout
Tied for FIRST PLACE at 97 POINTS!
The color of this well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon is medium to dark ruby with lovely ripe blackberry and cassis flavors. There are big tannins on the finish but this wine will age beautifully.
Roasted coffee beans dominate the nose. Dense blackberry cassis in the mouth with huge tannins! Powerful and beautifully structured with nice oak integration and a lasting finish...wow!

"Vinum Cellars is a side project for Richard Bruno, winemaker for Don Sebastiani & Sons, and his collegiate buddy Chris Condos, a consulting enologist for Kathryn Kennedy Winery. Their main passion is Chenin Blanc, but this is a solid Cab, with tart, fresh black-cherry flavors and strong oak and vanilla notes. The tannins are very strong, so give it some air and/or cellar time."

"A 100%-Cabernet Franc from mountainous El Dorado County! This wine’s crazy good with tons of varietal character — woodsy tannins, touch of green pepper, vials of violets — that’s also packed with plenty of great plum, cassis and savory notes of leather and mocha, all in a memorable package. With plenty of grip and acid, enjoyed over a meal, it gets better by the minute and has the depth to age 5 - 10 years, too." - V.B.
