Reverie 2009 Estate Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Diamond Mountain District)

Country: US / Estate Special Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Reverie / Diamond Mountain District

If you cellar only a few Napa Cabernets a year, this is one you should seek out. It’s so tannic, so shut down, yet so explosive in blackberries, currants, dark chocolate and sweet oak, that it will easily negotiate the next decade. If you really have to open it before 2015, at least give it a decent decant.
