title: Prime Solum 2009 Brokenrock Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: Tasted in early December, this Cabernet, which was blended with Merlot and Petit Verdot, was in a funny place in its evolution. It's not exactly fresh and fruity, but it hasn't evolved to the complexity of an aged wine. You'll find plenty of restrained blackberry, cherry, currant, violet, oak and tannic notes that require another 6–8 years to resolve and shine.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Brokenrock Vineyard
