Steven Kent Winery, 2010 Premier Cabernet Sauvignon
This represents Steven’s best Cabernet grapes in the vineyards he can assemble. It is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and always a phenomenal wine. This evening with a steak we opened this beauty. On the eyes the purple hue beamed royalty and uniqueness with its coloring being crisp with clarity. It possessed a medium viscosity. On the nose, red fruit filled the olfactory senses coupled with medium oak tones. On the palate, this wine shined with hints cocoa, expresso and which provided a rich and dense fluid of cherries, vanilla and soft pipe tobacco. The tannins and structure were still strong enough after almost 10 years to provide an elegant and velvety feel, yet structured with a long lasting finish. Paired with a nicely marbled rib eye steak (plus salad and potato’s), provided a great host for this opulent Premier Cabernet Sauvignon by Steven Kent Winery.
Slainte,
