Note di degustazione
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a definitive example of a Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet blend. The nose unabashedly shows off honest, herbal, Cabernet-correct aromas of green pepper and oregano, surrounded by blackcurrant, pipe tobacco, underbrush and graphite notes. The palate is velvety, enveloping and concentrated but retains energy and agility, with a long, firm core of tannic grip on the finish. While it is drinking beautifully today and just beginning to reveal its layers, this should turn into a modern classic with another decade in the cellar.

Wine with a back story! Really sophisticated dry wine that's obviously the product of a vineyard not a cellar. Dry finish and could only have come from where it did. (JR)
Grown at an elevation of 2,000 ft (610 m) on the original Mount Eden Estate. Dark garnet. Aromas of black cherry and cassis. Elegant and lithe flavours of black cherry and cassis are shot through with pencil shavings and a touch of whiskey-barrel wood. Excellent acidity and restrained fine-grained tannins suggest a very long life for this wine. Poised and impressive. (AY)
Mount Eden’s 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon represents the essence of what Cabernet Sauvignon is all about in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Deep, powerful and explosive, the 2016 simply has it all. A wine of tremendous depth and intensity. Readers, take note. This is world class Cabernet Sauvignon that in any other region would cost 2-3 times as much. Savory and expansive, with tons of mountain character and remarkable richness from low yields in 2016, the Cabernet Sauvignon is simply off the charts. It’s another utterly breathtaking wine from Mount Eden.
