2012 Oakville Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

A blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve boasts a black/purple color along with gorgeous aromas of crushed rocks, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, licorice, graphite and camphor. Full-bodied, backward and atypically tannic and structured for a 2012, this “locked and loaded,” big, massive Cabernet Sauvignon is built for 20-25 years of longevity. It is a spectacular, pure, well-balanced, quintessential Napa Cabernet Sauvignon that is truly world-class. Forget it for 4-5 years and drink it over the following two decades.
