Cabernet Sauvignon (2020)

This presents itself aromatically with a hint of pleasant smokiness, which could be an oak note or conceivably a result of atmospheric conditions, but that’s a moot point because the note certainly doesn’t stand as a flaw or a streak of taint. At its core, this is medium-bodied and stylishly so, with a Bordeaux-like style in some respects (leafy and lightly herbal aromas) but also some pure, punchy and ripe fruit notes that keep this straddling the line between the Old and New World style profiles for Cabernet. Complex and interesting, this seems to offer up new nuances with each sniff and sip. ~94 Platinum Michael Franz
