2009 Louis M. Martini cabernet sauvignon, Sonoma

My previous review of a cab from this producer was the 2006 version. Although 2009 was not an outstanding vintage for this varietal in Sonoma County, Martini obviously has reliable grape sources. This is a delicious wine that makes no pretenses, it simply delivers accurate varietal flavors in a very balanced package. Good acidity and fine-grained tannins will see this wine nicely through several more years in your cellar. But why wait, it is drinking beautifully right now. This wine has widespread distribution. I bought my bottle at a grocery store in Tucson for $16.
