2015 Sang-Froid Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

This is the first wine I have tasted from Sang-Froid Vineyards. The site, formerly the James Johnson Vineyard, is located just off Lodi Lane in northern St. Helena and was planted in 1989 with Grace Clone Cabernet. The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is plush, ripe and voluptuous, as wines from this sector in St. Helena tend to be. Super ripe dark cherry, blueberry jam, cloves, spice and mocha infuse this creamy, voluptuous wine. Full-bodied and voluptuous, with tremendous fruit intensity and tons of near to medium-term appeal, the 2015 has much to offer. I can't wait to see where this goes in coming years. Winemaker Keith Emerson did a terrific job with the 2015.
