title: Baldacci 2007 Brenda's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Stags Leap District)
description: Shows its youth in the assaultive tannins that hit the palate with astringent toughness. But underneath are rich, pure and vibrant blackberry, cherry and cassis flavors. A very fine wine, as this bottling tends to be, but one in serious need of cellaring. It's already throwing some sediment, suggesting it's impatient to evolve. Give it another 6–8 years.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Brenda's Vineyard
