Country: US / Cuvée Kristin
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Korbin Kameron / Sonoma Mountain
A very rich Bordeaux blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon, but quite tannic. You want to give it some time in the cellar. Dry and full-bodied, it shows ripe, deep flavors of blackberry jam, black currants, dark chocolate and anise, with smoky overtones from oak. Feels dramatic and impressive. Give it until 2012 to come around.
