2016 Adamvs 'Quintvs' Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain

Winemaker Notes:  Exemplifying the uniquely diverse geology and wild flora found at the ADAMVS Estate, the 2016 Quintvs is a serious wine with a seductive, mineral-laced, umami backbone. Surrounding this powerful core are aromatics and flavors of black currant, Bing cherry, wild sage, and luscious ripe plum. On the palate the wine is round, lush, and soft, yet structured and age worthy. Drink now or cellar for five to fifteen years.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Aged in 75% new French oak for 21 months, the very deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon QUINTVS gives up warm blackcurrants, crushed plums and blackberry pie with touches of wood smoke, crushed rocks, iodine, truffles, charcuterie and bay leaves. The palate is full-bodied with very firm yet ripe tannins framing the generous black fruit and earthy layers, finishing on a lingering mineral note. 900 cases produced."
