Summers 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (Calistoga)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Summers / Calistoga

This is a rich, well-structured Cabernet, but such are the tannins that it needs time in the cellar. The cool vintage was kind to the Calistoga fruit, keeping the alcohol modest and the tannins hefty, while allowing the grapes to develop intense flavors of blackberry and black currant. Give it 6–8 years in a good cellar.
