Toasty oak, spice box, plums, and graphite notes all emerge from the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon John C. Sullenger. It's another seamless, very pretty, elegant wine from this label.

One of the flagships in this range, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon John C. Sullenger is open and beautifully resonant, with the characteristic texture that makes wines from this site so distinctive. Mocha, new leather, tobacco, smoke, licorice and spice are fused together in a supple, resonant Cabernet Sauvignon that will drink well right out of the gate.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon John C. Sullenger Vineyard has a floral nose with cassis, red cherries and redcurrants plus wafts of pencil shavings and rose hip tea. The medium to full-bodied palate is vivacious with loads of poise and freshness plus firm, grainy tannins, finishing long.

This has very strong blue-fruit character with a softer, smoothly rendered palate texture that offers real drinkability and attractive, appealing style. Fresh and fleshy through the finish. Drink or hold.
