title: Star Lane Vineyard 2007 Astral Red (Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara)
description: Hard to believe this Cabernet Franc-based Bordeaux-style blend is nearly six years old. It's still bitingly tannic. There's a huge core of blackberry and cocoa fruit that's slowly showing aged notes, but those tough tannins will never go away before the fruit fades. Drink up.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Astral
