This month\u2019s Collector Series Top Pick goes to Fore Family Vineyards\u2019 2008 Red Hills Cabernet Sauvignon.\u00a0 The Red Hills AVA straddles Napa and Lake Counties and is increasing a source of exceptional wines from small family owned wineries such as Fore Family Vineyards.\u00a0 We could have easily chosen any number of the Fore Family\u2019s exceptional wines to feature (Doug Fore also fashions outstanding award winning Pinot Noir), but considering the nation\u2019s insatiable desire for Cabernet and how hard it is to locate top notch California Cabernet with some bottle age, we decided on the 2008 Cabernet.\u00a0\u00a0 And you can enjoy this well-endowed Cabernet now and over the next decade.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more wines from this up and coming producer.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n
