SINEWY
Usually referring to a wine with not much fruitiness, but a good balance of alcohol and acidity.
For those who were able to harvest their Cabernet rapidly, the flavors were concentrated, but the wines also showed sinewy tannins. The richer, better balanced wines were made in the cellars. Merlot went into the late season under some stress.
