Note di degustazione
Based on 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from an older block in this larger vineyard, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Fairchild G-III offers a distinct iodine character as well as notes of sappy herbs, damp earth, tobacco, and beautiful black fruits. Rich, full-bodied, concentrated, and textured, it's a classic, ageworthy, almost old school-styled wine from this team. Aged 22 months in new French oak, give bottles 3-4 years and it should evolve for two decades or more.

The 2017 Fairchild G-III is a lush, gorgeous wine. Rich, sumptuous and beautifully layered, the 2017 possesses tremendous richness and plushness, with soft, simple tannins that add to its immediacy and allure. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, chocolate, spice and espresso are all laced together in this unctuous, full-throttle Cabernet.
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon G-III aged for 22 months in new French oak and has a very deep purple-black color. It comes strutting out of the glass with determined notions of crushed black currants, blackberry coulis and wild blueberries plus suggestions of menthol, chocolate box, Ceylon tea and cardamom plus a waft of dusty soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a compelling savory, stewed tea character with a chewy frame and invigorating freshness, finishing with lovely restraint. 475 cases produced.
