Boudreaux Cellars
Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
I had this a few weeks back, so it's more of a memory than a tasting note.
Doesn't get a lot better than this, in my opinion. This is a 95 WE wine, and for good reason. Tons of deep cab fruit. Great powerful tannins. Lots if life yet, but drinking ok for my palate. I like the intensity sometimes (which isn't to say that the tannins overwhelmed), just big.
A really great wine.
We drank this the same night as some ohter goodies. A 2009 Gramercy Cellars Lower East and a 2010 Cayuse Callioux vineyard syrah.
It was definitely the punchiest. The only weakness was the lack of the earth component, which could have been due to drinking next to a Great, earthy balanced cab from Gramercy and the funk of a Cayuse wine.
It was still my (narrow) fav of the night, which is saying something.
