title: Villa del Lago 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: This starts out a bit coarse, with strong tannins that have a rough-edged feeling. It's very rich in blackberries and black currants, but showing more power than elegance. Time in the glass certainly opens it up, revealing a rich, heady cassis note. While the alcohol is high, it may easily develop bottle complexity over the next 10–15 years.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
