2010 Barrister Winery- Cabernet Sauvignon

92 Points Wine Enthusiast

These Bacchus Cabernet vines were planted in 1972, and add old vine elegance to what is adark, roasty-toasty wine redolent with new barrel scents and accents. Espresso, smoke andcharred wood come out first, but the blueberry, black cherry and deep cassis fruit carries the wine through a long, supple finish. Paul Gregutt
