Castello di Amorosa 2007 Il Barone Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Il Barone
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Castello di Amorosa / Napa Valley

Doesn’t say so on the label, but it’s Cabernet Sauvignon. However it’s utterly unlike most other Napa Cabs in the dryness and tartness. Almost like a Chianti, with bone-dry cherry, red currant and tobacco flavors, scoured with tannins, that finish with a cut of acidity.
