title: Mount Eden Vineyards 1999 Old Vine Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Cruz Mountains)
description: Still a baby, and easy to misunderstand, but this is one serious puppy.  Youthful tannins and acids frame juvenile, primary fruit flavors of blackberries, and oak has been tastefully applied. But the rich core of fruit, and overall balance, urge longterm aging for a good ten years.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Old Vine Reserve
