title: Flora Springs 2010 Rutherford Hillside Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
description: Don't even think of opening this Cab before 2018. It's very tannic and closed, and locked down in astringency still. But it's so balanced, so rich with blackberries, chocolate and cassis, and yet so dry and minerally, that it's the modern poster child for an ageable Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Wonderful to see this veteran Napa producer remaining vital and relevant after all these years.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Rutherford Hillside Reserve
