I opened a bottle of our 2008 Idaho (Williamson) Cabernet, to see how it's developing for Christmas.
One word: BIG!
It's got loads of wood tannins and good cab fruit. The flavors are dominated by wood right now but it will age well. In the meantime, if you open one, make sure to have it with a juicy steak!
I think the wine would have been better without as much wood on it. We should keep an eye on this year's cab to make sure it doesn't get over oaked. Last year we bottled on May 2nd. We should look at bottling earlier, maybe in March?
