Country: US / SOLO
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Silverado / Stags Leap District
This 100% Cabernet shows its pedigree in the refinement of its tannins and dryness, despite lush blackberry and cherry, currant, plum and oak flavors. It’s not really drinkable now because the tannins are so strong, locking the mouth down in puckery astringency. Will it age? The outcome is unclear, but the fruit doesn’t seem intense enough to outlast the tannins.
