Coghlan 2009 Amethyst Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Amethyst
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Coghlan / Santa Ynez Valley

Shows the difficulties of making Cabernet succeed in this Santa Barbara County inland valley. It’s awkward, with sweet blackberry and bell pepper flavors swamped with oak.
