Martin Ray 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Stags Leap District)

Country: US / California
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Martin Ray /

Pretty sharp in tannins and acids, even for a Stags Leap Cab. Although it has plenty of blackberry, cherry, currant and oak flavors, it’s a hard wine. The palate finds so much to like, it wants it to be softer, but it’s not, so the gamble is on aging. Try after 2013.
