"Although winemaker Katy Lovell just did her first crush at her new winery property in Soquel this past fall, she is no stranger to the wine business. She and ex-partner Max Rios built Rios-Lovell Winery and planted significant acreage in Livermore back in the early 90s. She has always produced award-winning wines, and the wines under her two new labels, Poetic Cellars and Lovell Creek, are no exceptions.

This is a well-made Cabernet with very Livermore-typical characteristics that lean more towards black fruits than to cigar and leather. This is Wente fruit, a blend of 52 percent clone 4 and 48 percent clone 337. Aromas of dark chocolate and coffee meld with damp earth, molasses and cinnamon. It's well-structured, plush, and filled with cassis, coffee, dried cherries, blackberry brandy, truffles and baked plum. It's very easy to appreciate, with good acidity and well-rounded tannins."
