Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 92 points
Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in a combination of new French oak (85%) and American oak (15%) for 22 months (a shorter period than the 2007), the 2008 tips the scales at 15.4% alcohol. Production (1,800 cases) was three times higher than the 2007. The full-bodied, rich 2008 offers copious amounts of black currants, cherries, loamy soil, tobacco leaf and roasted coffee characteristics. On a faster evolutionary track than the 2007 (even though the 2007 is a deeper, richer, more complete wine), the 2008 is another winner from Louis Martini. Anticipated Maturity: now-2025.
