2008 Saddleback Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

The story on this California Cab is not day 1 or day 2, but day 4 and beyond...  :) 
Beautiful development after opening several days ago demonstrates the aging potential of these wines, adeptly made by the venerable Nils Venge. A candidate for one of the best values in Napa Cabernet for under $50. 
Alluring and slightly sweet nose of cedar and cassis. Palate mellowed and the edges of youth rounded off a bit on day 4.  Very attractive cherry and spice with a Left Bank profile. No obtrusive notes from oak.
