Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Reaper / Chalk Hill
This is a big, rich Cabernet whose powerful fruit stars. Blackberries, cherries, plums, cassis, cocoa and oak flavors flood the palate, dazzling despite the firm tannins. This holds its own with more expensive Cabernets from Napa Valley, and should develop well over the next 5–6 years.
