Note di degustazione
Coming all from the Tierra Roja Vineyard and a barrel selection, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is an inky colored effort that has a touch iron and bloodiness in its mulled red and black fruits, tobacco, chocolate, and spice-driven aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, nicely balanced, and layered, it’s a classic Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the coming decade or more.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is soft, supple and inviting. Bright red cherry, wild flowers, mint and spice give the 2017 striking brightness and energy to play off a core of rich Oakville fruit. This is such a pretty and enticing Cabernet.
This is the first time TOR has made a barrel selection from their Oakville vineyards, predominantly Tierra Roja in Oakville East. It is composed of barrels selected to reveal the "red-fruited, softer, juicier side of the Tierra Roja vineyard". Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon comes sashaying out of the glass with open-knit notes of warm red and black plums, kirsch and cassis with wafts of bay leaves, tar, underbrush and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, the palate has bold freshness and a firm frame of chewy tannins with a core of evocative, crunchy red and black fruits, finishing long and earthy. 350 cases were made.
