Judd’s Hill 2007 Kairos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Kairos Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Judd’s Hill / Napa Valley

Tastes pretty dry and tannic, with lots of astringency, and finishes hard and gritty. Not a wine you want to drink now. But there’s a huge core of blackberries hidden below, accompanied by a burst of juicy acidity. Seems to have the balance for cellaring. The score reflects what this Cab will likely be in 6–8 years.
