Maddalena Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

This! The best year of Maddalena Cab I have had, is '08, but '09 will not disappoint. As I discover more and more Paso wines, I am more intrigued to make a pilgrimage there.

This is beautifully complex, but still approachable. All wines are best when they have fully opened, but a little sippy-sip right after opening won't disappoint; a preview of the magic to come.

This is one of those wines that tastes like the label: regal and sophisticated.

Bottom line: Drink it!
