Robert Young 2004 Bob’s Burn Pile Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)

Country: US / Bob’s Burn Pile
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Robert Young / Alexander Valley

Dry and smoothly tannic, the blackberry flavors have a softly herbal, earthy tinge. There’s a lot of new oak, possibly too much, because the smoky caramel is just a bit overpowering.
