title: Coquelicot 2011 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley)
description: There's a reductive funk at first on the nose, with singed rubber and creosote, but that quickly gives way to cherry, boysenberry and brown spices. Flavors are dominated by tart cherry and cedar, with hints of slate-driven, earthy minerals.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Reserve
