2007 Rubus, Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

[Drew]

One wine shop in our area is offering this wine for $19.95 per with a 20% case discount so after trying one bottle I took the leap. Probably the best Napa Cab at this price point I've had in a long while. Deep blackberry and dark cherry flavors on an elegant frame. The wine exhibits a subtle smokiness with hints of bitter chocolate and finishes long with refined tannins. Very nice and worth much more than this asking price. 14.2% Alc./vol.

Will look for tis sucker today as I'm having lunch(sans wine) with BRW. Figure that "Misery loves Company" definately applies here. WW

The Washington Post included this wine in a review this month of bargain prices on a few wines. I usually shop in the south of Baltimore, but would go north if I knew of a store which has this wine. Can you mention where you found it?
