Country: US / Terzetto
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Volker Eisele Family Estate / Napa Valley
Rough-hewn and tannic in youth, this blend of one-third each Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot isn’t showing much accessibility. It’s astringently closed, but very ripe and sweet in blackberries, cherries and cedar. Give it five years in the cellar.
