Behrens Family Winery, Moulds Cabernet Sauvignon, Oak Knoll District

Deep ruby with remarkable clairity and a nice bright rim. Very expressive nose of sweet fresh licorice and pine forest. Palate is richly textured with currant and dusty bramble berries framed by well integrated oak. The finish is rich and long with good acidity and balance. I drank one shortly after release and thought it was lean but it’s plumped up and ready now. The 15.1% abv is apparent but not overwhelming. Delicious and quaffable as a cocktail wine and …

Dark Ruby Red color with blackberry, currant, cassis, and spices with an extended juicy aftertaste on the palate. Well balanced acidity and tannins making it a perfect wine to pair with a steak.

Concur with decant comments. Shame our last bottle.

We drank this bottle after 2 hours of decanting, and consumed it over another 2 hours during dinner. I was pleasantly surprised with how well this wine was drinking. Still lots of rich currant and a hint of licorice, with a solid backbone of sweet tannin. This was the first bottle we’ve enjoyed since purchasing it and we still have 5 bottles left. I think I’ll drink one per year over the next five years as there’s still plenty of …

Full throttle. Rounded. Integrated. This wine had all of the characteristics of a really nice Napa Cab that is right in the drinking window. Very impressed. This wine was a full bodied, throttled, high velocity powerhouse that seemed to go from black cherry to blackberry and cassis as it opened. Seemed to get MORE tannic on the finish after it had been opened for an hour. This wine has a great middle of some dark chocolate, cocoa powder. Finish still …

The first day flavors seemed to be overwhelmed by oak, even 8 years out. The second day there was still an oak influence but not as strong.

Lovely, classy, balanced Napa Cab that was perfect with beef tenderloin on Easter Sunday. Beautifully delineated fruit. Superb length. Refreshing acidity. Integrated oak. Sweet tannins. Really drinking well, but structured to cellar for many, many years.

Decant! This wine opened up significantly after two hours in the decanter. The nose is beautiful and the finish is cooler climate Napa with a firm acid and medium length. Good wine.

The perfect wine for me

Very enjoyable cabernet.

Nice vanilla notes with a good long finish.
