2007 Snowden Cabernet Savignon Reserve Napa Valley
97+pts(WA) The dazzling 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (86% Cabernet Sauvignon
and 14% Cabernet Franc) requires 2-5 more years of bottle age, but
should evolve for three decades. Its dense purple color is accompanied
by a thrilling bouquet of espresso roast, smoked herbs, licorice, creme
de cassis, blackberries, and ink. The wine hits the palate with a blast
of fruit, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and tremendous purity, definition,
and length. The sensational purity and exquisite balance between all
its elements are impressive as well as noteworthy. Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 186

92-94pts (ST) Good full red-ruby. Flamboyant
aromas of currant, licorice, dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Sweet, dense
and thick, with superripe flavors of black raspberry, dark chocolate and exotic
spices. A bit chunkier than the Ranch, and showing more new oak and more obvious
tannins today, but this also offers superb potential. Stephen Tanzer May 2009This is a California Wine
