Donati 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paicines)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Donati / Paicines

The dryness and low alcohol are praiseworthy, but more challenging are hard tannins and biting acidity. With blackberry and sweet green-herb flavors, it’s the opposite of today’s ripe cult style, but by no means unattractive.
