Callaway 2010 Winemaker’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Temecula Valley)

Country: US / Winemaker’s Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Callaway / Temecula Valley

There’s a menthol-infused sense of chaparral shrubbery on the nose of this bottling from the winery founded in 1969 by golf entrepreneur Ely Callaway. Charred pine leads the palate, with rustic elderberries, chopped herbs of oregano, thyme and rosemary, and lots of leather. It needs quite a bit of time to open up.
