Terra Valentine Yverdon Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

This Cab shows its high mountain origins in the incredibly concentrated fruit. It's positively laser-like in the intensity of blackberries and cassis. The tannins are also strong and impeccable, and there's lots of new oak that shows up in the form of cigar box and sweet toast. Dramatic and ageworthy, this wine will develop bottle complexities over the next 10 years, maybe far longer. Special Designation: Cellar Selection. Score - 94.
