title: Mount Eden Vineyards 2012 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Cruz Mountains)
description: Extremely elegant and restrained at first on the nose, this bottling eventually shows gravel and crushed rocks, with hints of blackberry and forest underbrush also emerging. A very firm structure weaves together an incredibly well-integrated wine, with dense mulberry and dried-fennel notes that morph into crushed herbs with time. Drink 2018–2032.
