Country: US / Cuvee l’Etrier
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Notre Vin / Napa Valley
There’s a beautiful wine in this Cabernet blend, which was grown at the foot of Howell Mountain. But it’s not showing its best now. Just too tannic, and the fruity flavors are all primary and unintegrated with the new oak barrels. With a wealth of raspberries, cherries and currants, it should begin to come into its own after 2013.
