Cabernet Sauvignon · Masterpiece

Russian River Valley

Quality

A 0–100 expert rating: 80–84 good, 85–89 very good, 90–94 excellent, 95–100 classic. Higher means a more highly regarded wine.

80/100Good

Nearly undrinkable for its arch-acidity that's almost still fermenting. The flavors are thin, with barely ripe blackberries and oak-like smokiness.
