Old Poodle Dog Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2014

2nd wine from boutique Napa winery Coho. Named after an early San Francisco French restaurant that closed its doors to protest Prohibition ("great cuisine must have wine"). Classic, burly Napa Cabernet Sauvignon: core of ripe blackcurrants and blackberries, wrapped up in baking spices, tobacco, and smoked meat. Full-bodied and rich, with velvety tannins and stiff acid. 24% combo of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Just 245 cases made.
