"The medium to deep garnet colored 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill, a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Petit Verdot and 8% Malbec, opens with baked blackberries and warm plums scents on the nose giving way to underlying garrigue, sautéed herbs, espresso and cedar chest. The palate is full-bodied, super concentrated and built like a brick house, with firm, grainy tannins and background freshness supporting the muscular fruit, finishing long."
