Peju 2007 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Peju / Rutherford

Erupts out from the glass with beautiful Cabernet perfume, suggesting cherry pie from the oven, licorice, sandalwood and dusty dried herbs, like sage and thyme. Very dry, with a long spicy finish, but also quite tannic, although lots of the tannins come from new oak. Best to age this polished 100% Cab for at least six years.
