The 2008 Estate Cuvee State Lane Vineyard (68% Cabernet Sauvignon 22% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) is spectacular. In fact I rated it the same as I did the 2007. A dense ruby/purple hue is followed by a gorgeous bouquet of espresso roast chocolate blackberries and black fruits. Full-bodied with extraordinary elegance as well as tremendous texture intensity and length this singular wine should drink well for two decades.
