Country: US / Kate & B’s
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Medlock Ames / Alexander Valley
This is a 77% Cabernet Sauvignon with 20% Merlot and a smidgen of Malbec, given almost two years to mellow in 30% new French oak. There’s a soft structure at the core of this wine and an overwhelming taste of leathery tannins overshadowing black cherry fruit, the finish slightly bitter.
