Note di degustazione
Piercing aromas of cassis, mulberry leaf, pencil shavings, dried sage and bay leaf, draped across the broad tannic scape. Yet another wine, mid-weighted and classy, of the second tier at this address. Rather excellent drinking. Bravo! Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The 2020 Prelude Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is juicy and bright on the nose. Despite its glossy exterior, the wine maintains a freshly turned earth/bramble vibe on the nose, which directly places it as varietally true. A honing beacon, if you will. The moderate to warm 2020 vintage is responsible for the density of fruit flavor in the mouth. Very good. The drinking window is conservative, but it takes into consideration primary fruit, which I personally prefer, to some extent, in most wines. This is characterized by cassis, blueberry, salted licorice, summer raspberry and even a hint of star anise through the finish.
There is plenty to enjoy in this quite serious 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Prelude. Lovely bright, expressive dark cherry, gravel and sage aromas are delivered in a compact, claret style with impressive power in plush blackberry flavors. Chalky tannins deliver a linear feel with pronounced savory herbal tannins adding class to the finish.
