Ghost Block 2010 Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Yountville)

Country: US / Single Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Ghost Block / Yountville

A huge wine with ripe blackberries, currants, dark chocolate and raisins. The oak is strong, and there’s some heat from alcohol. The impact is of a dramatically layered wine, but one whose internal conflicts may not allow it to age long enough for the hard tannins to outlive the fruit. Drink now–2016.
