Only the brave and lonely continue to try to forge top Cabernet from Santa Barbara County, especially at this price. While the mission is not impossible, Cabs like this don’t advance the cause, no matter how nobly inspired. Dry and herbal, the wine shows only modest blackberry and cherry flavors, and is dry and hard on the finish.
