Forbes Creek Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, Lake County, USA 2007

Description

From Lake County, this 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the depth and structure of high elevation vineyards shaped by extended bottle age. The bouquet reveals dried blackcurrant, baked plum, and dark cherry layered with cedar, tobacco leaf, and dusty earth. With air, notes of leather and warm spice emerge, underscoring its maturity.

The palate is fully resolved, tannins softened into a seamless, velvety texture. The fruit has evolved into a savory register, suggesting dried fig and cassis accented by cocoa and a faint mineral edge. Balance remains intact, supported by steady acidity that carries the wine through a composed and lingering finish marked by subtle spice and earthy nuance.
