Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is solid step up over the Merlot and has more depth and richness as well as character. Blackcurrants, plums, earthy tobacco-laced herbs, dried flowers, and hints of lead pencil all flow to a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon that has no hard edges, a light, graceful texture, beautiful fruit, and a great finish. It’s already drinking beautifully yet will keep for 15 years or more.

Like the Vintner Select Merlot, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintner Select is very ripe, but the Cabernet seems to have enough of an underpinning of structure to handle all of that intensity. Grilled herbs, smoke, leather and tobacco add complexity as the wine builds into a substantial, resonant finish.
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintner's Select features expressive notes of crushed black raspberries, kirsch, black currants and mulberries with nuances of bay leaves, licorice, underbrush and charcuterie. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has wonderfully youthful, energetic black and red berry flavors, supported by a grainy texture and lovely freshness, finishing long on an uplifting herbal note. 648 cases were made.
