Grgich Hills 2008 Yountville Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Yountville Selection
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Grgich Hills / Napa Valley

While this Cabernet is very rich and ripe in flavors of blackberry and cherry jam, crème de cassis and new oak, it’s also very tannic. That bite of astringency gives it a rustic note. A very high, Port-like alcohol level may or may not thwart cellaring plans.
