Tannic, dry and compact. Heavy alcohol, full body – all a bit much! (RH)

Another winner is the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa which includes 1% Cabernet Franc. It possesses abundant notes of creme de cassis intermixed with a floral underpinning and subtle oak in the background. Rich and full-bodied with a burning ember/smoky component that adds character to the red and black fruits that dominate the wine, this beauty should drink well for 15+ years. This is an impressive group of wines from Merryvale Vineyards, a winery whose offerings I have not tasted for many years. Tel. (707) 963-2225
