2010 90+ Cellars Lot 108 Cabernet Sauvignon
Price: ~$12
From: Mendocino County, California
Score: B-
Editor’s Note: Last week we had their 2012 Malbec, but we’ve previously had a few of their wines – including a 2010 Cab, although from Lot 74 instead of 108 – which was much better in our minds – gasp same type of grape and year and company and only the location changes my mind – I’ve become too snooty.
