Note di degustazione
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous, elegant wine that is just starting to drink well. Black cherry, licorice, lavender, spice, menthol and coffee fill out the layers. Plush contours wrap it all together in style. This offers lovely textural density to play off the estate's more classically leaning sense of structure. Today, my impression is that some of the baby fruit has started to melt away. At the same time, the 2015 is a bit of a mystery, as is one of the most shut-down, reticent 2015s I tasted for this report.

Medium-bodied, bright, fresh, crisp, crunchy, peppery red fruits, come along with forest floor and leafy nuances. With a lean to old-school classically designed California Cabernet, this is going to need until at least 2025 to become fun to drink. 93 Points
Some ripe blue fruit with mushroom character. Hint of conifer, too. Medium to full body. Pretty, firm and creamy tannins. Needs two or three years to come completely together, but already beautiful. Drink after 2022.
Deep ruby colour. Baked tomatoes and sweet cassis on the nose. Plump, rich and rounded on the palate, full of fleshy dark fruits and a hint of cedar and sweet spice. Approachable on account of the fine tannins. (TP)
