OBSIDIAN RIDGE Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007, a 3. This is an interesting wine from the southern shores of Clear Lake region, just north of Napa Valley. The grapes are from the 2640 feet elevation in the Red Hills of the Mayacamas. Dark red, almost obsidian black, this wine has a surprisingly non-cab taste, more merlot-like with strawberry and tropical fruit and whipped cream impressions. Very soft, very easy to drink. The Lake County has some hidden treasures, with interesting, very reasonably-priced cabs.

Looks like this wine was tasted in January. No wonder it looked familiar to some.
