NEW LOCKWOOD CAB

[Jerry D Mead]

BEST BUY
RED WINE OF THE WEEK
Lockwood 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon ($16) This is "Kick-ass Cabernet!" Huge! Mouthfilling! Intense! Concentrated! Highly extracted! Blackberry, cassis and a little dark plum. A firm spine that will see it age for a decade or more, but without an edge of harshness. Find this one discounted or on sale and you'll have a real steal. Rating: 94/96
Lockwood wines have good national distribution and you can call the winery for specific retailer information at: (831) 642-9200. And there's a really informative website at: www.lockwood-wine.com, though it is due for updating on available vintages.
