title: David Arthur 2008 Elevation 1147 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: This 100% Cabernet spent nearly two years in 100% new French oak. As a result, it's enormously oaky in youth. You can barely smell or taste anything beyond toothpicks. But the wine is still young and very tannic, and with a massive core of blackberries, cherries and dark chocolate, it's a ticking time bomb, just waiting to explode. Hold for at least six years and see what happens.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Elevation 1147
