    Emilio's Terrace 2005 Sophie's Rows Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)

    Here's a firm young Cab that desperately needs time in the cellar. Its tannins push and shove the palate, stinging and shutting it down. But there's a deep core of terrifically ripe black currants, and the oak application is fancy. Only 150 cases produced. Best after 2011 and possibly for many years after.
