Note di degustazione
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Jack's Masterpiece comes from a mix of vineyards and is a cellar selection put together by the winery president and former winemaker Mike Reynolds. Rocking levels of red, blue, and black fruits are interwoven with notions of unsmoked tobacco, iron, lavender, and lead pencil shavings. These all flow to a full-bodied, brilliantly balanced, seamless red that has ripe, sweet tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and the class to drink beautifully today yet evolve for two decades or more.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Jack's Masterpiece is a potent, virile wine. Swaths of tannins wrap around a core of inky black fruit. Leather, licorice, smoke, gravel and incense add to the wine's decidedly dark, somber personality. I would give the tannins a few years to soften. (AG)
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Jack's Masterpiece bursts from the glass with confident cassis, preserved plums and mulberries scents backed up by notions of cedar chest, pencil lead, espresso and tar. Full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house with a solid frame of grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long with fantastic purity.
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Jack's Masterpiece is dark, powerful and massively tannic at this stage, no doubt owing to the majority of hillside fruit in this bottling. There is more than enough density to fill out the wine's imposing frame, but the 2016 also clearly is at an embryonic stage of its development. This is an especially potent, muscular style.
