title: Flora Springs 2004 Hillside Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
description: The vineyard is source of high-quality fruit, but also intense mountain tannins that require time to melt. Under those tannins is dramatically rich black currant and carob fruit flavor, easily big enough to sustain 100% new French oak. By 2009 this 100% Cab should begin to soften and sweeten, and it will drink beautifully for at least six more years.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Hillside Reserve
