2016 Terra Valentine Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain

Winemaker Notes:  Black currant, crème de cassis, black licorice and purple plum aromas with a touch of tar, pepperwood, and leather layered with caramel, baking spices, and cocoa. The brambly wild berry fruit on the palate is structured and compact on the forward palate and leads into layers of complex spices and dried sage. The earthly black fruit is mingled with cocoa powder on the finish.

Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petite Sirah

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "This offers a spicy impression with a wealth of intense, rich and dark fruit aromas, leading to a rich, fleshy palate that offers a very vibrant, nicely structured and fresh finish. Neat wine with impressive depth."
