McGrail 2008 A Jo Elet Cabernet Sauvignon (Livermore Valley)

Country: US / A Jo Elet
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: McGrail / Livermore Valley

A very well-done Livermore Cab aged in 100% Hungarian oak and named “The Good Life,” this one’s got plum and spicy cola going on and tastes young though it’s a 2008. Its structure shows more potential to age—the fruit will integrate with the wine’s subtle savory herbs.
