Note di degustazione
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Cardinal shows a dense, concentrated nose of dried and candied red fruits, fresh herbs and a subtle floral lift. The palate is plush and ripe in texture, dominated again by red-fruited flavors that carry through the one-dimensional finish. This is a charming, balanced enough wine that lacks the complexity or depth needed for a higher score.

Saturated violet. Deep-pitched dark fruit liqueur, cherry-vanilla, mocha and pipe tobacco scents pick up an energizing cracked pepper flourish with air. Lush and densely packed, offering bitter cherry, cassis, vanilla and dark chocolate flavors that show excellent clarity and spicy back-end thrust. Round, gently chewy tannins add shape to a very long, appealingly sweet finish that echoes the cherry and spice notes.
Coming from the Old Bailey Vineyard in Paso Robles and all Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 Cardinal has a spicy, sappy, yet beautifully fruited style that carries lots of darker currant fruits, green tobacco, mint, and cedar aromatics, medium to full body, and a balanced, elegant texture. It has plenty of charm today but will keep for 10-15 years.
