Palumbo Family Vineyards & Winery, Temecula Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Nov 11, 2020

By Rich Cook

 There is an attractive rustic character to this ready-to-drink Cabernet that grabs you right away in this glass.  Rich black current and pine forest aromas translate well on the palate, and the fruit stays prominent from start to finish.  It’s quite stylized and nuanced in a way that shows its provenance admirably.  I admire the decision to not rush the releases at Palumbo.  This bottle is a fine example of what can happen when the wine calms with some bottle age.
