A fantastic new second label from Mount Eden - one of the best Cabernet values in California91 Points Robert Parker: "Even sexier than the 2008, the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon comes across as considerably sweeter and rounder than its older sibling. Layers of expressive fruit linger on the radiant, juicy finish. This is an especially open and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon. The sweet tannins should allow it to drink beautifully upon release. The blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019."

Celebrating the arrival of Madeleine with a NY Strip roast. A complex Bordeaux blend. A lot of life left, great nose of red berries, cedar, olive brine, and dill. Great mix of tart and ripe dark berries on the palette. This would go with a lot of beef dishes, especially roasts or steaks.
