TASTING NOTES:
This is a rich red with a linear tannin structure that provides form and tension. Full body. Firm, chewy yet fine tannins and a long, flavorful finish. 96% cabernet sauvignon and 4% petit verdot. Better in a couple of years. Try after 2022.
-James Suckling, 92 pts.
Polished and well-focused, with expressive blackberry, licorice and spice flavors that build richness toward refined tannins.
-Wine Spectator, 91 pts.
Incorporating 4% Petit Verdot and brought up 54% new French oak, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon has loads of cassis fruit and spicy, chocolaty notes as well as medium to full body, a rounded, mouthfilling texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's another pure, sexy, fruit-loaded effort that will evolve nicely for 5-7 years, probably longer.
