2014 Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon Dancing Bear Ranch

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Dancing Bear Ranch, from Howell Mountain, is 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. This is stunning Cabernet Sauvignon with floral notes intermixed with graphite, crème de cassis, blackberry, mulberry and a hint of chocolate. The wine is large-scaled, but elegant, full-bodied, rich and exceptionally well-balanced with impeccable purity and length. This is a beauty of craftsmanship and great terroir to drink it over the next 20 years.
