I’m very impressed with winemaker Sara Fowler’s latest releases. They show a refinement that’s more than rare in their price categories. This bold yet elegant Cabernet gets a nice assist from small amounts of Petit Verdot and Merlot. It shows bright blackberry, plum and chocolate aromas and flavors joined by finessed oak spice, all finishing with great push and balance. I don’t think I want much food interfering with this hedonistic beauty – go solo!
