Beaucanon 2010 Trifecta Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Trifecta
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Beaucanon / Napa Valley

The blackberry fruit is so powerful and rich, it punches right through this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend. It’s still tough in tannins, however, giving it a harshly astringent mouthfeel. It would be a shame to drink it too young, so give it until 2016.
