2017 Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon
93 points, Wine Spectator
The grapes are harvested from a single vineyard located in the heart of Calistoga and planted to gravelly soils. Despite being on the valley floor, the berries are very small and impart characteristics of hillside fruit into the wine but still oer the balance that comes with valley floor fruit. Black tea, blackcurrants, leafy herb notes and a touch of menthol emerge from the glass. Ripe flavors of black cherry, raspberry, loganberry, plum compote and licorice spread across the palate. This is a full-bodied wine with bold tannins and a long finish letting the fruit shine. |
