2 Cal Cabs
 

I's turkey hinting this week at my farm so we did rack of lamb on the
grill last night. I opened two bottles of California Cabernet with the
lamb.
2002 Flora Springs WIld Boar Vineyard-Medium body, medium red in the
glass. More red fruits than black fruits, some raspberry, one
dimensional, resolved tannins. "B-"

2001 Shafer Hillside Select-Full throttle California Cabernet. Very
dark purple, upfront nose of cassis and blackberries. Big, ripe and
concentrated on the palate still showing a lot of baby fat. Lot's of
black currant, blackberry and blueberry a bit of anise and black
coffee fnishing with a bit of oaky vanilla and a bit of heat. Needs
about ten years. "A"
