Country: US / California
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Meeker / Kiss Ridge Vineyard
Shows rich, firm mountain tannins and well-ripened, concentrated flavors of blackberries, cherries, currants and cocoa, and is thoroughly dry. But the wine loses a few points for hot caramelization, which may be partly over-charred oak and partly shriveled, overripe berries, if not both.
