Thomas Fogarty 2007 Gist Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Gist Ranch
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Thomas Fogarty / Santa Cruz Mountains

From the very fine 2007 vintage comes this surprisingly tannic Cabernet. Even at the age of more than four years, it’s still tough and astringent. It has a sweet core of blackberries, and it’s tempting to recommend aging. But there’s a troubling touch of raisins, so drink up.
