title: Markham 2008 The Altruist Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: This wine remains astringent in tannins, with a lockded-down mouthfeel that's hard to get past. But it's very rich in blackberry and cherry fruit. Is it worth aging? It's hard to tell if 10 years will be of benefit, but the tannins seem likely to outlast the fruit. Drink up over the next 5–6 years.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: The Altruist
