Country: US / Gratitude Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Olabisi / Howell Mountain
At the age of four-plus years, this 100% Cabernet is not showing well. It’s very tannic and dry, with mouthwatering acidity and a brittle mouthfeel. The flavors are elusive, suggesting black currants, oak and minerals, although it certainly is elegantly structured. It might improve by cellaring until 2022.
