if you're used to soft, ripe napa valley cabernet, this one, grown just over the lake county border, will strike you as dry and unyielding. the tannins are pronounced, giving it a hard bite. but it's rich and deep in crème de cassis, the sort of wine that seems ageworthy. take a gamble and put it in your cellar for 6–8 years.
