This wine speaks of place in a way that will make you rethink the region’s Cabernet in this price range. Improving viticultural techniques are taming the hard green edges often associated with the area, as evidenced here. Chalky tannins and good grip keep the dry style working well, with blackberry, pepper and crushed rock aromas and flavors lingering long. A nice find!
