Coup de Foudre 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Coup de Foudre / Napa Valley

Given the difficulties of the 2010 vintage, this wine is a success. The tannins are young, thick and astringent, and then the acids kick in. After that initial assault, the palate begins to get more interesting complexities of black currants, blueberries, minerals and oak. The suggestion is ageability, but only limited. Give it until 2016–2017 years and drink with hearty fare.
