Habersham Cabernet Sauvignon, Georgia, USA 2006

Description

The 2006 Habersham Cabernet Sauvignon from Georgia is a mature American Cabernet from a cooler climate region compared with California. After nearly two decades in bottle, a well stored example typically shows developed dark fruit like blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum with savory notes of cedar, tobacco, and earth. Tannins have likely softened over time, giving the wine a smoother texture while retaining some structure. You may also find subtle tertiary characters such as leather or dried herbs that come with age. If the bottle has good condition, it can offer an interesting mature Cabernet experience that pairs nicely with roasted or grilled meats and aged cheeses.
