Classic, divine, succulent.
I cannot say enough about this Sonoma Cabernet, it is wonderfully consistent at showing classic Cabernet character. It lands on my annual TOP 100 list every year.
It dispenses divine aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, mocha, tealeaf, mixed spies, char-grill and juicy red plums. Generous and sweet red and black fruit flavours are layered with cocoa, espresso liqueur an fine spice. It has great bones and bright acidity with a long smooth finish.
Pair: grilled meats, lamb or earthy dishes with lentils or potatoes with wild mushrooms.
Second review, June 17:
Liqueur like in its aromatic profile, this indelible Cabernet offers aromas of plumcake, brown spice, vanilla, cedar chips and lilacs, opulent mocha and licorice. The palate follows suit; succulent, almost jammy with a glycerol weight and deliberate structure and excellent persistence.
So consistent and so delicious.
