title: Obsidian Ridge 2007 Half Mile Red (Red Hills Lake County)
description: Made from unknown varieties, this is a big, sturdy, tannic and dry wine, made from a high mountain vineyard in this Lake County appellation. There's lots to like in the blackberry, cherry and red currant flavors, with their edge of dark chocolate and bacon. The wine is a bit sharp, but that could be a function of youth. Give it a few years in the cellar. A wine to watch.
variety: Red Blend
designation: Half Mile
