2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Quilceda Creek Vintners)

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon has a ripe nose with a precise core of generous, healthy and robust red and black fruits. Chocolate-covered black cherries pour from the glass with elegant blackberry tones that unfold effortlessly alongside enticing tones of French oak spice and subtle savory and floral notes. The wine is full-bodied and slightly acidic in the mouth, with a focused acidic structure balanced by lush tannins. The mid palate is perfectly balanced, with rich dark cherry notes framing the oak expressions. The ripe core of fruit and oak dances vibrantly on the long, polished and generous finish, and the aftertaste lingers for more than a minute after the wine has left the palate. This is a stunning and impressive wine in this vintage, a wine that collectors should take note of and seek out. 4,975 cases were produced.
