The 2007 The Maitre D’
Cabernet Sauvignon is opaque purple-colored with legs that
slowly ooze down the glass. It received the same elevage as The
Scooter. It reveals an enticing nose of spice box, scorched
earth, smoke, black currant, and blackberry followed by a
velvety-textured, layered, savory Cabernet with excellent depth
and balance. This lengthy effort will evolve for 1-2 years and
provide pleasure through 2017.
