2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Tierra Roja Vineyard Oakville

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Tierra Roja comes from a four-acre vineyard just below the Dalla Valle estate in the Vaca hillsides of the Oakville corridor, where the red soils dominate. This wine is a beauty, showing loads of cedar wood, licorice and dusty, loamy underbrush notes along with oodles of blackberry and cassis fruit. Its beautiful purity, full-bodied mouthfeel, and majestic texture and length all suggest a brilliant future of 15-25 years for this offering.
