There are around 200 cases of the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville, one of the bigger wines at 14.9% natural alcohol. A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, it comes from a single block of the Vine Hill Ranch site in the lower hills of the Mayacamas Mountains on the western edge of Napa Valley. It boasts an inky/purple color along with notes of licorice, charcoal, baking spices, blackberries and cassis. Full-bodied with great intensity, it appears to be a prodigious example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. It will not approach adolescence for another 3-8 years, and it should keep for two to three decades. October 2013 WA 96
ETUDE CABERNENT SAUVIGNON ST. HELENA 2010 (2)
Napa Valley.
The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena comes from the alluvial soils of a vineyard called Schoenstein. A 200+ case, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 100% new oak, this beauty exhibits lots of blackberry and cassis fruit intermixed with hints of vanillin, incense, cedarwood and spring flowers. With a creamy, full-bodied, opulent texture as well as lavender and Provencal-like garrigue notes, this moderately tannic Cabernet demands 3-5 years of cellaring. It will age effortlessly over the following 20-25 years. October 2013 WA 94
