Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Courtney Benham / Mount Veeder
A strong Cabernet, even an aggressive one, with very ripe, punchy blackberry and dried currant flavors that are deep and long lasting. The tannins are powerful, too. End result is a tough young wine that wants some time in the cellar. Stash until 2015.
