97 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2008 Madrona Ranch opens with an incredibly expressive bouquet. Espresso, mocha and licorice meld into dark red fruit and sweet exotic spices in this superb wine. The 2008 is an extraordinarily polished, refined wine for the vintage. Sweet spiced and floral notes reappear to round out the finish. The relatively high percentage of Cabernet Franc (37%) comes through in spades here. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2033. (Dec 2011)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "Ultrarich and gutsy, nuzzling up to syrupy, this is a chewy, extracted style that extends the flavors to kirsch, black licorice, blackberry jam, espresso, hazelnut and toffee. Ends with chewy, grainy tannins that give the flavors traction. Drink now through 2026. 350 cases made. (5/1/13)"

WE 87

In stock, 6 available

List $20.00

87 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$20 list] A little brusque in texture, with some tartness, but there’s a lot of richness. Shows complex flavors of blackberries, cherries, black currants, cola, dark bitter chocolate, cedar and spices, with a pleasant minerality, and the finish is bone dry. Brisk tannins make it an ideal companion to roasted meats and hard cheeses. (12/31/10)"

Producer notes: "The 2008 shows an enticing nose of black cherry and cassis and hints of eucalpytus and cocoa. In the glass, this wine delivers much more than what one might expect for a Cab so modestly priced, revealing rich flavors of cherry, chocolate and plum enveloped by soft tannins."

Anderson's Conn Valley Right Bank Napa Valley 2008 $ (310001)

RP 92

92 points Robert Parker: "The 2008 Right Bank (55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc) is slightly shorter and not as concentrated as the 2007. The lightest of the three vintages, the 2008 is a full-bodied effort displaying lots of cassis, bay leaf, charcoal, and subtle smoke. Expect it to drink well for 15 or so years. (Dec 2010)"

List $55.00

90 points Robert Parker: "[$55 list] The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is a European take on Napa fruit with lots of terroir, earth, spice, black cherry, black currant, cedar, licorice and foresty notes. Medium-bodied and elegant with sweet tannins and excellent fruit, it should drink nicely for up to a decade. As evidenced by these two impressive offerings, Piero Antinori’s project on Atlas Peak is paying big dividends in terms of quality. Consultant Renzo Cotarella is the advising winemaker. (Dec 2010)" 1,800 cases produced.

94 points and 'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "Doesn’t say so on the label, but this is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, from the Atlas Peak area. Very dry and tannic, with an astringent lockdown, it’s functionally undrinkable now, but it does show the intensity of this mountainous region for Cabernet, with explosive blackberry, blueberry and black currant flavors. All indications are that it’s an ager. Hold until 2015, at the very least. (Apr 2012)"

93+ points Robert Parker: "[$98 list] More statuesque and compelling is the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Townsend Vineyard. Initially restrained, this dense ruby/purple-colored wine offers up notes of forest floor, blackberries and cassis along with a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and attractive elegance and purity. Multilayered with sweet tannin, it should age nicely for 15+ years. (Dec 2010)"

WS 92

In stock, 12+ available

93 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "(99% cabernet sauvignon and 1% petit verdot): Good bright, deep ruby. Captivating aromas of cassis, licorice and graphite. Suave and vibrant, with lovely definition to the flavors of cassis, violet, dark chocolate and minerals. Densely packed, very long wine with a serious structure for aging. Mostly from St. Helena fruit; the '07 version was mostly from Howell Mountain. Just 1,200 cases were bottled, the lowest total ever for this consistently outstanding cabernet. (May/Jun 2011)"

93 points Anthony Dias Blue (The Tasting Panel): "Lush and dense with dark plum and rich notes of oak, vanilla, tar and chocolate: ripe, full-bodied yet supple and elegant; rich, long and stylish with great aging potential. (Jan/Feb 2012)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "Patience required for this taut, dense, focused effort, with layers of mineral, cedar, dried berry, black licorice and espresso. Shows great structure and focus, yet this is very tight and backward now. Best from 2013 through 2023. (5/31/12)"

Producer notes: "The 2008 Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon shows youthful characters of fresh blackberry, black cherry and blueberry, and has bright characteristics of blackberry and blueberry aromas, accented by notes of toast, graphite, cedar and brown spices. The palette is rich and supple with seamless, mouth-coating tannins. The rich, juicy fruit core is highlighted by flavors of cassis, blackberry, sweet cocoa and a light savory note. A nice acidity lifts the fruit and carries it into a prolonged, pleasing finish. 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Alcohol 14.5%."

Bond St. Eden Napa Valley 2008 $ (313868)

WA 94

IWC 93

In stock, 3 available

94 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2008 St. Eden is one of the richest, fleshiest and best-balanced of the 2008s in the Bond portfolio. Dark red fruit, flowers, minerals and spices are some of the notes that take shape in the glass. The 2008 has the mid-palate pliancy that is less evident in some of the other 2008s here. There is plenty of focus as well, especially on the long, saline finish. Tar, smoke and licorice add the final notes of complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028. (Dec 2011)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "There's a touch of raciness in the aroma, with a sweet-sour edge to the vivid wild berry and currant notes that turn dry and chewy. Full-bodied and dense, with loamy, earthy tannins. Best from 2013 through 2023. 533 cases made. (11/15/11)"

93 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Full ruby-red. Subtle aromas of red- and blackcurrant, dried sage and nutty oak lifted by a floral topnote. Densely packed, thick and pliant but youthfully reserved, with noteworthy purity to its dark berry flavors. Finishes impressively long, with plush tannins. This youthfully backward wine will need at least several years of bottle aging. The wine's small merlot component was picked at the end of August. (May/Jun 2011)"

WA 95

In stock, 5 available

96 points James Suckling: "Insane nose of porcini mushrooms and dark fruits. Forest floor too. Hints of spices. Amazing. Blackf ruits too! Full-bodied, with an amazing finish. This is superb. So long and powerful. Needs another two to three years to come around. (6/20/11)"

96 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good full ruby. Highly aromatic nose combines dark fruits, dried herbs, violet and forest floor spices. Explosively sweet and deep, with a spicy core of dark fruit flavors that fans out on the back half to saturate the palate. Finishes with strong but lush tannins and captivating violet lift. Remarkably horizontal for a cabernet-based wine from this vintage. (May/Jun 2011)"

95 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2008 Vecina is a huge, strapping wine bursting with dark fruit, leather, licorice, smoke, minerals and tar. It possesses striking mid-palate depth and more than enough fruit to stand up to the firm, imposing tannins. Iron, graphite, smoke and minerals are layered into the dark, brooding finish. This is an impressive showing. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. (Dec 2011)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "Engagingly complex and layered, with a mix of dried currant, wild berry, forest floor, cedar, black licorice and tobacco flavors. Full-bodied and slow to unfold, gaining a sweetness on the finish. Best from 2013 through 2023. 601 cases made. (11/15/11)"

Cade Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Napa Cuvée 2008 $ (312877)

750ml

$59.95

WS 90

In stock, 12+ available

90 points Wine Spectator: "[$60 list] Plenty to admire in this taut, focused effort, with dried dark berry, mineral, blueberry and sage notes on a medium to full body. Well-proportioned, ending with a burst of blueberry fruit. Drink now through 2021. (5/31/12)"

Producer notes: "[$60 list] 76% Cabernet Sauvignon (Calistoga, Rutherford, Howell Mtn), 10% Petit Verdot (Rutherford, Calistoga), 7% Malbec (Rutherford), 5% Cabernet Franc (Calistoga), 2% Merlot (Oak Knoll). The second of three (2007-2009) consecutive wonderful vintages the 2008 Cade Cuvee is a worthy successor to the 2007. The inclusion of 7% Malbec gives the wine a juiciness and fruit forwardness. Aromas of black cherry, plums and milk chocolate are followed on the palate with flavors of cocoa, blackberries and warm cherry pie filling. Much more approachable upon release than the 2007, there is a sense of balance that will allow the wine to age gracefully for the next 3-5 years. Alcohol 14.8%."

Cain Concept The Benchland Napa Valley 2008 (315169)

375ml

$28.95

In stock, 8 available

Producer notes: "Cabernet Sauvignon 48%, Merlot 25%, Cabernet Franc 18%, Petit Verdot 9%. At just under 50%, the 2008 Cain Concept has the lowest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon that we have had to date. But the Cabernet was tight and concentrated, so we were able to build on this core with the other varieties. With aromas of pound cake, dried cherries, Christmas spice and mocha, the wine has a silky smooth entry with very fine tannins that flow continuously to a gentle easy finish. This is what the Napa Valley is all about. Enjoy the wine today, or in ten years."

Cain Five Spring Mountain District Napa Valley 2008 $ (316472)

750ml

$114.95

In stock, 12+ available

Producer notes: "61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot. Due to the low yields and relatively late ripening, the Cain Five is fresh and fi rmly structured, with potential for long and consistent aging. This marks the second vintage of the return to 100% Cain Vineyard Estate Bottled, which means 100% of the grapes were grown in the Cain Vineyard. It is a worthy successor and perfect companion to the 2007, with its floral-herbal perfumed nose, and its juicy, mouth-wateringly vibrant palate."

CG 88

WE 88

In stock, 12+ available

88 points Connoisseurs' Guide: "Conn Creek's inexpensive Cabernet-based blend is something of a revelation at the price. It is rich, well-fruited and carefully balanced with a real sense of reserve and polish typically found in far more costly wines. Its layered delivery of juicy dark fruits and sweet oak is bound to tempt early drinking, yet do not be fooled by its price tag into thinking that it is a simple gulper to be drunk down right away. It is much more than that, and it will continue to grow for a number of years. GOOD VALUE. (Aug 2011)"

88 points and 'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "Lots of pleasure in this dry, classically structured wine. It’s rich and forward in juicy blackberries and cherries, with a milk chocolaty richness but also a dried herb earthiness that grounds it. Good price for a wine of this class. (Mar 2011)"

Culler Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley "Casaeda" 2008 $ (310272)

A blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon from declassified fruit from Howell Mountain and Syrah from Sonoma and Napa, which adds spice and juicy dark fruit. The name for this label comes from Karen’s daughter, who used to mispronounce the word ‘cicada’. 393 cases produced.

Dancing Hares Mad Hatter Red Napa Valley 2008 $ (310681)

Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine exhibits rich vanilla character, along with dried cherries, raspberry, and savory notes. The tannins are soft, while the mid-palate is mouthwatering and juicy. The complex fruit character is enhanced by flavors of dried sage, cardamom, and black tea. At this time the wine softens and becomes more expressive with a light decanting.

RP 91

93 points Wine Spectator: "Tightly wound, firm, dense and concentrated, with a core of dark berry, plum, roasted herb, game meat, graphite, road tar and lead pencil, ending with chewy tannins. Should reward cellaring. Best from 2012 through 2022. 2,100 cases made. (11/15/11)"

92 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good deep ruby-red. Cool aromas of blueberry, menthol and flowers; smells delicate. Then surprisingly creamy, round and sweet in the mouth, with a faint herbal edge giving shape and verve to the redcurrant and plum fruit. Lovely pliant wine in a rather easygoing style, finishing with smooth tannins. This should be approachable young and age well on its balance. (May/Jun 2011)"

91 points Robert Parker: "One of the better values in high end Napa Cabernet, the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Elegant Bordeaux-like aromas of berries, loamy soil, graphite, mocha, black currants and cedar are followed by a medium-bodied, stylish wine with excellent texture, underlying floral notes and a long finish. Nearly as French-like as Napa’s Dominus wines, it should age effortlessly for 10-15 years. (Dec 2010)"

JS 93

In stock, 1 available

List $125.00

96 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$125 list] A huge Cabernet, in the best sense of the word. It wasn’t the easiest vintage, as 2007 was, but meticulous winemaking did the job, resulting in this amazingly rich, impressively ripe wine that’s drinkable now and will develop for many years. The fruits veer toward blackberries, cherries and cola, and the tannins are soft and refined. One hundred percent new French oak isn’t at all heavy, lending nuances of buttered toast and sweet wood tannins. Will easily age for 15 years. (Feb 2012)"

93 points James Suckling: "Fabulous aromas of currants, blackberries and flowers. Licorice. Gorgeous to smell. Full-bodied, with racy tannins and smoky, spice and dark chocolate. Fresh and bright with a solid core of fruit. This is clearly better than 2007 for me. Best after 2014. (6/20/11)"

4 stars, Highly Recommended, Decanter: "Intense herbaceous, green pea, sweet, dark plum, spice, coffee and chocolate nose. Has some drive and flair. It has a lighter touch than most. Appealing and lively with pure jam and vanilla flavours. Drink: 2012. Alc: 15.5%. (Feb 2012)"

91 points Anthony Dias Blue (The Tasting Panel): "[$52 list] Silky, elegant and bright with ripe plum, tangy acidity and ripe flavors; balanced, classic and long. (Sep 2012)"

90 points California Grapevine: "Medium to medium-dark ruby; attractive, herbal-toned, spicy, blackberry fruit aroma with notes of cassis and toasted oak; medium-full body; herbal, cedary, blackberry fruit flavors that are a bit hard and tight on the finish; medium-full to full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Very highly recommended. 13.9% alcohol; blended with 18% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot; released May 2012. (Aug 2012)"

Producer notes: "77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Two significant frosts in spring of 2008 affected grapevine growth, lowering grape cluster yields as much as 20% per vine. A wine that captures the heart of Jordan's style--balance, elegance and full expression of fruit--Jordan 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon has a smooth, silky structure that showcases the delicacy of the vintage. Elegant aromas of cherries and plums open to a soft, silky mouthfeel boasting a spectrum of red and black fruit flavors with a hint of spicy oak. Enjoy now or cellar through 2020. Barrel aged 12 months in 60% French oak and 40% American oak. Alcohol 13.5%."

IWC 93

In stock, 1 available

97 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Backus is a beautifully delineated wine endowed with tons of personality and sheer class. The wine comes alive in the glass, with crushed rose petals, dark raspberry jam, licorice and spices. There is an exotic element to the fruit that is highly appealing. Today the tannins are quite firm, suggesting the wine needs at least a few more years in the cellar. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2038. (Dec 2011)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "Firm and intense, this is beautifully structured, with a tight, vivid core of mineral-laced raspberry, black cherry, anise and cedar flavors. Full-bodied and firming nicely on the finish, where the minerality provides a flinty edge. Drink now through 2022. 1,445 cases made. (11/15/11)"

93 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "(this wine and the 2009 version are 100% cabernet sauvignon, as Joseph Phelps is replanting some petit verdot and malbec): Bright ruby. Aromas of blueberry, crushed stone, licorice and violet. Very tight and energetic, with dark berry flavors complicated by meaty, smoky and saline nuances. Ultimately creamier than the Insignia, this saturates the entire mouth and leaves the taste buds vibrating. Finishes with major tongue-coating tannins, superb persistence and captivating minerality. (May/Jun 2011)"

Producer notes: "94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec from the estate-owned Backus Vineyard in Oakville. Aromas in the 2006 Backus are layered with classic notes of crushed rock, ripe blackberry, plum, dark chocolate and violet. The full mid-palate is dominated by flavors of mineral, mocha and dense fruit. Incredible concentration, structure and depth are the backbone of this wine and lead to the rich long finish."

List $200.00

97 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "[$200 list] The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Insignia is a towering, statuesque wine bursting with blackberry jam, tar, spices, leather and licorice. It shows fabulous depth and richness backed up by serious, imposing tannins that suggest it has a long life. Ideally, the 2008 should be purchased by those who can be patient; it is not a wine for those seeking immediate gratification. The blend is 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Malbec. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038. (Dec 2011)"

95 points James Suckling: "What a wonderful wine here. The nose shows a fabulous combination of dark fruits, chocolate, spices and caramel. The palate is silky textured with lots of ripe yet beautiful fruit and super silky, tight tannins This is a balanced wine with all the potential to age for decades. Made from 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot. (6/15/11)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "Dense and chewy, this is very tight and closed, but the glimpses of fruit offer tight mineral, crushed rock, graphite, dried currant, cedar and anise. Full-bodied and way too young to drink now, this needs time, but should provide years of rewarding drinking. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Best from 2014 through 2026. (8/31/11)"

WS 91

In stock, 12+ available

91+ points Robert Parker: "There are 500 cases of the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (again 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate vineyards in Yountville). Slightly denser, more structured, tannic and backward than the 2007, it is a full-bodied effort with notes of black currants, heady glycerin levels, and more toasty oak in the background (even though the percentage of new French oak used is essentially the same in each cuvee). The 2008 requires patience as 2-3 years of cellaring will be beneficial. It should drink well over the following 15 or more years. (Dec 2010)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "Aromas of roasted herb, sage, dried berry, cedar and cigar box give this full-bodied red a nice Bordeaux-like scent. Turns detailed from midpalate on, ending with a minerally edge. Best from 2013 through 2021. 500 cases made. (8/1/11)"

Producer notes: "This intensely aromatic 100% Cabernet Sauvignon abounds with blackberry, blueberry, dark chocolate, and spiced plums. A touch of baking spices and a tiny hint of anise also come forward in the aromas. Full-bodied and plush at entry, the texture is consistently generous and satiny throughout the palate impression, with a sweet dark cherry/blackberry juice flavor and freshness as the lingering impression. This very ripe yet fresh Cabernet shows a lovely combination of power and elegance from start to finish."
