2014 Yao Ming Cabernet Sauvignon Family Reserve

The flagship wine is the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Yao Ming Family Reserve, which is 95.57% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot. It has an opaque ruby/purple color, a stunning nose of graphite, blueberry and blackberry fruit, and a long, rich, full-bodied mouthfeel with impressive purity, texture and length. There are a lot of celebrity wines in the world today, but this is certainly a top-notch, impressive effort and can be approached now, because it’s a 2014. It is soft, but promises to age gracefully for another 15-20 or more years, possibly longer.
