Special Selection California Cabernet Sauvignon

A little piece of California wine history. Such a treat to try this. It's held up well.

Smells heavy of strawberries. Very clean, soft texture. Light/medium body. Almost a little vegetal/earth flavors. Not in a tobacco or dusty way. Tad smokey.

1978 Louis M. Martini Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Napa. Really nice birth year wine. An example of the importance if good cellaring.

Very fresh and pristine bottle. Fruit still very present and sweet and delicious.

A touch of dust but still gangbusters on the fruit. Coke-y sweetness and a cool time machine of a wine
