Myuge Cabernet Savignon 2006

Myuge is pronounced like "My usual" - a shorthand for someone at a bar, asking for their usual drink. It was a Cabernet developed to be sold by the glass. The grapes were sourced from Rutherford, Howell Mountain, Oakville and Yountville It was ruby red, somewhat translucent, and had an incredible nose from two feet away. Some coffee notes, maybe toffee, and nothing green (which I hate in Cab) on the nose. It's got great legs. Tremendous red fruit! Nice balance with integrated tannins and good acidity, it went well with salami, and a spicy sausage, it was a medium bodied wine that I enjoyed a lot. About $40, tasted 10/18.
