title: Star Lane Vineyard 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara)
description: A tad earthier than other bottlings from the area, this shows damp herbs, forest-floor notes and soy on the nose, backed up by the stewed black-plum fruit. The tannins are soft but present on the palate, where teriyaki flavors mesh with elderberry, oregano and dark chocolate. This will improve with more bottle age.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
