title: Penché 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: Not showing well, with a heavy fullness of jammy berry-cherry fruit and strong tannins. Sweet oak sticks out like a sore thumb. Its future is hard to predict. Most wines that age gracefully start out impressive. This one just tastes overwrought. The score reflects crossed fingers for improvement.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
