Country: US / Hillside Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Flora Springs / Rutherford
This is a big, tough, tannic Cab that needs time in the cellar. Not showing well now due to the astringency, it has a rich heart of black cherries and minerals, liberally enriched with sweet, smoky new oak. Decanting, and pairing against charred beef, will uplift it.
