Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Amaro Vineyard / Sonoma Valley
This new entry into the Cabernet sweepstakes is promising. It’s very ripe and concentrated in berries, cherries, currants and chocolate, in the manner of a mountain vineyard. The tannins are strong, but pliant, making it drinkable now. But something about it suggests the cellar. Give it three more years, by which time it will be eight years of age.
