Tasting notes
Larry Fairchild's 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon G III is terrific. In this vintage, the G III captures the distinctly earthy, savory notes of this site, but also offers a bit more fruit density and textural finesse than has sometimes been the case. Readers should expect a full-bodied, powerful Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. There is so much to like.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon G-III offers up a beautifully expressive nose of baking spices, dusty soil, garrigue and dried Mediterranean herbs over a core of warm black currants, black cherry pie and black berry tart plus a waft of potpourri. The medium to full-bodied palate has a gorgeous earthy/savory character with firm, chewy tannins and well-balanced freshness, finishing long with a pleasant meatiness coming through. 200 cases were made.
