title: Castello di Amorosa 2009 Il Barone Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: An impressive Cabernet, flashy and dramatic in the "cult" style. It's smooth and velvety, with imposingly rich tannins that frame ripe, pure black currant, crème de cassis, dark chocolate and anise flavors. There's a lot of oak, too, but it's in keeping with the wine's volume. Should develop over the next 15 years, but you can certainly drink it now.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Il Barone
