"Grown at Swanson's estate vineyards in Oakville, this is a luxurious Napa Valley cabernet. Give it air, and as the oak scents wane, the tart black cherry fruit reveals layers of dark tobacco and old-fashioned mineral tannins (they taste like crushed rock). Alcohol warms the lips in the finish, but there's plenty of wine here to balance it. For the cellar."
