| 2008 Corley Cabernet Sauvignon "Reserve" Winery: Corley Vintage: 2008 Wine Name/Vineyard: "Reserve" Wine Category: Cabernet Sauvignon Grape blend: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon & 4% Merlot Region: Napa Valley State or country: CA Price: $72 Cases produced: 336 KWG Score: 92.5 (based on 4 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good+ (91) Review date: December 16, 2011 Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Cabernet opens with a mild black currant bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, juicy and very fruit forward. The flavor profile is a blackberry and black currant blend with some integrated mild oak. The finish is dry and its big dusty oak tannins are rather sticky and linger for quite some time. This wine would pair well with a juicy cowboy ribeye steak. Enjoy – Ken Winemaker Notes: The 2008 Corley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has deep rich and dark aromas of black and red berry fruit. The oak is beautifully integrated on the nose and reveals wonderful tones of mocha, toasted vanilla and smoky chocolate. On the palate, the wine has a rich texture with lots of depth and concentration. The mid-palate is big and full, being framed by rich tannins that provide definition. The finish is long and lingering. This is a big wine that will reward both the avid decanter and patient ager. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Corley 2008 Reserve Cabernet.
