Neal Napa Valley 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, $39.94-$49.99, 92 points,
has an opaque core, tapering to black currant with violet flashes
and is transparent at the rim.
Black currant aroma is dominant, but there are hints of
vanilla java.
Smoothly, the medium-plus body balances good acidity and
moderate tannin in this dry red wine.
A plethora of black fruits borderlines territory reserved
for "fruit-bombs", but rather gracefully skirts near to elegance. The
finish is warm (14.4% alcohol), mildly spicy, and with a hint of mint.
