description: Tough in tannins, hard in acids, and funky, this Cabernet is difficult to appreciate now despite obviously ripe blackberries and cassis. It resists the palate's attempts to break it down, and finishes with a firm astringency. Maybe it will age out. Try after 2014.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Crossfire Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard
