Four Bears Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa) 2008 sponsored review by (PB)


Gorgeous deep garnet hue with bouquet of lovely plum and background spice with blackberry, cola and cigar box nose.

Palate--First impression is a more mature wine than what it is because it is so supple with fruit forward dark berry fruit, a touch of breadiness. It is fruity, lively, with classic Cabernet presence. This wine is drinking really well right now and yet will improve for several years. Finishes off with a slightly vegetal, berriness that lingers.

This wine will run you around $17 and is an excellent example of Cabernet Sauvignon eclipsing Cabs considerably more expensive making this a value Cab. So raise a glass and check back for my top 10 wines of 2010 and a surprise announcement of a first for the WCB. I will be announcing my pick for winery of the year.
