title: Trinchero 2009 Mario's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena)
description: Made in a ripe, oaky style, this 100% Cabernet has powerful blackberry and cassis flavors that are a little warm. Its 95% new French oak is evident in the smoke, vanilla, toast and caramel notes. It's a very tannic wine that locks down the palate with dry astringency. All indications suggest the cellar. Give it at least eight years.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Mario's Vineyard
