2016 Mount Peak Winery ‘Sentinel’ Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaker Notes: The Sentinel Cabernet Sauvignon is named for the shield-shaped block that casts a watchful eye on the entrance to Monte Rosso Vineyard. It’s a beautiful deep crimson color and a muscular, mouthfilling wine with full tannins and intense, concentrated fruit. Savory aromas mix with lavender and dark fruit, leading to a rich mouthfeel with waves of dark cherry, blackberry and a touch of spice. The extend finish melds the fruit together with hints of nutty toasted oak, pecan praline and caramel. The full, balanced structure gives this Cabernet tremendous aging potential.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Fresh blackcurrants, dark plums, mulberries and cassis. Medium-bodied with crunchy fruit and acidity, grainy tannins and a medium-long finish. Drink in 2022."
