2016 Cabernet Sauvignon RESERVE, Cassata Vineyards

The grapes in this wine are grown in deep alluvial soils. The fragrant approach brings you right into the vineyard and creates a sense of place. On the nose, this Cabernet holds notes of raspberry, boysenberry, overripe black plum, Herbes de Provence, horehound and caramel, while the palate lends flavors of mulberry, black currant, plum, cacao and baking spices. Elegantly balanced with a dash of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this wine displays a strong tannin structure and finishes with a silky texture.
