Perhaps because of its size, Laurel Glen doesn’t have the reputation for Cabernet Sauvignon that it has earned and that it deserves. The Cabs are pure and focused, well-balanced and it’s been my experience that they improve with age. The 2014 Counterpoint is another in a long line of successes, showing layered black-fruit complexity with a note of graphite and cedar and beautifully managed tannins. Drink now or over the next 10 years.
