Behrens Family Winery Erna Schein Moulds Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

I don’t have much experience with Moulds Vineyard (aside from a bottle or two of Becklyn’s Reserve) so I’m unsure if this was more representative of the vineyard or the winery...or both! @Mark Flesher opened this and is more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to Behrens and he said this is exactly their style. Some spice box, tar and black cherry on the nose with a big mid palate...but it stayed smooth! Plum, cassis and violet wash all over the tongue and mouth. I initially thought this was at its top drinking window, but this wine actually came charging through the longer it was opened and made me think this has a ways to go. Classy and well crafted.
