Terra Valentine Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District

This is in dark-plum and dark-chocolate territory with undertones of dried herbs, bark and walnuts. On the palate, the ripe fruit is supported by grainy tannins and carried well by a fine thread of acidity to the chewy, chocolatey finish.  A 100% varietal wine from one block of the property, this is thick and ripe with an abundance of oak. The fruit is masked somewhat by the astringency of the tannins.
