"Flirting with perfection, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Oliver's Blend is another wine from the estate vineyard, and it spent 18 months in 65% new French oak. Awesome notes of blackcurrants, crème de cassis, tobacco leaf, and lead pencil all flow to a full-bodied, perfectly balanced Cabernet Sauvignon that has building tannins (yet they’re ripe and polished), a terrific mid-palate, and a weightless, seamless texture. This is Sonoma brilliance all the way, and I suspect it will keep for 2-3 decades if you’re so inclined." Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com, Jun 2019 |
