2008 Karl Lawrence Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Herb Lamb - USA, California, Napa Valley (2/28/2020)
Coravined one glass. Brilliant nose out of the gate, opulent Napa dark fruits that evolved nicely given some time. At 60 minutes a wonderful diverse bouquet shined through of black currants over a mellow woodsy tone. Lushishly smooth on the mouthfeel (reminiscent of a Scarecrow wine) the juice effortlessly slides over your tongue forcing you to be patient to really enjoy this wine. An elegant though somewhat angular wine relative to the wonderful flowing bouquet. Stylistically this reminds me more of a youthful ‘94 Napa Cabernet than the modern Napa incarnations. Rich blackberries and earthy body coupled with a savory long finish make this a wonderful wine with many years left in the bottle. (93 pts.)
