title: Rutherford Ranch 2007 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: Very dry and tannic, a style of Cabernet that relies more on structure than flash. Despite fairly high alcohol, it keeps a tight rein on the blackberries and cedar, locking the flavors in astringency. Needs time. Give it until 2013 and see where it goes.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Reserve
