Fisticuffs 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Red Wine

Wine Advocate

Fisticuffs 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
Rating: 88 - Issue 12/23/2011
The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is a pretty, fleshy wine graced with expressive fruit and perfumed aromatics. Dark fruit, sweet spices and herbs are layered into the finish. It is a terrific wine for the money, something that isn't easy to say about Napa Valley Cabernets.
Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.

About:

Friends and co-vintners of TuTu Pinot Grigio, Rob Lawson of Pavi Wines and Jeff Smith of Hourglass, decided a few years ago to apply their concept for TuTu (great wine at an even better price) to a great drinking Cab. The result? Fisticuffs. Produced from Napa vineyard grapes, the 2009 vintage is perfect to open and enjoy fresh out of the bottle. - Kerrin Laz, Wine Director
