The 2012 Napa Valley Cabernet is an absolutely tremendous showing from Tor Kenward, sourced from Mast Vineyard (Yountville), Melanson (Pritchard Hill), Tierra Roja (Oakville) and To Kalon (Oakville). It instantly releases seductive aromas of ripe dark cherries and black currants followed by spring flowers, baking spices and lovely hints of mocha and sweet toasted oak. On the palate this is full-bodied, layered and voluptuous, backed by soft, round tannins, which make for a seamless transition into the long, plush finish. Although this should have no problem cellaring for many years to come, it absolutely delicious today and is just about impossible to resist. (Best 2015-2032) - December, 2014 (JD)
