Mazzocco Cabernet
2007 Mazzocco Cabernet Sauvignon Inheritance. (It's actually a blend, but it's mostly a cabernet at 91%).
I like big, full-bodied cabs and this one certainly does not disappoint. In the description from the winery, it includes the descriptor forest floor flavors, which I describe as dirty or musty. Although it sounds a bit gross, it's that earthiness that really defines this wine. We belong to the Mazzocco wine club, and received a case of this one a while ago, but unfortunately I can't find a place to buy it now. If you're out somewhere and see it on the wine list, be sure to try it. Hopefully this will call your attention to this winery if you haven't been familiar with it before.
This one is a moderately pricey, at $40 per bottle.
