This is a big boy, with full throttle tannins just beginning to loosen their grip. Blackberry pie, fall spice and some fresh tobacco are present in aroma and flavor profiles, and will unwind into powerful beauty over time. A supple finish shows a long future is ahead. Decant well near term, or age a dozen years or so. Contains 1% Petit Verdot.
Saint Helena Winery, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
