2012 Laird Family Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa, is an equal-part blend of Flat Rock and Mast vineyards. It is a sexy wine offering up notes of espresso roast, melted chocolate and blackcurrants in a decidedly hedonistic and plush style. The color is a dark plum/purple. The wine is round, generous, expansive and altogether silky and pleasing. Some oak is present, but overall the wine is very well-balanced, ready to drink and yet should evolve and hold together for up to a decade.
