1995 Murphy Goode, Cabernet Sauvignon, Brenda Block

This was the latest victim of my “Kill an Orphan Wine a Week” campaign.

The color shows some fade and bricking. This is clearly a mature Cab with some cigar and leather to accompany muted black cherry fruit. The oak and tannins are completely resolved at this point and the finish clipped and on the drying side. Not completely without merit, but this bottle was past peak and should have been killed a couple of years ago. My suggestion: Drink up.
