title: Hawkstone 2010 Connoisseur Series Cabernet Sauvignon (Atlas Peak)
description: Merits its high score by virtue of the concentrated black currant flavors that are so intense and pure, they're the essence of Cabernet Sauvignon. Yet the wine is also very tannic, with a lockdown astringency that leaves the mouth all puckery after you swallow. Give it 5–6 years in a good cellar.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Connoisseur Series
