The 2014 Cimarossa Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is another incredible showing from Tor in this vintage. This absolutely seductive Howell Mountain Cabernet begins with aromatics of blackberries and dark currants woven together with sweet pipe tobacco, smoke, crème de cassis, graphite, spicebox, floral, fresh minerals and subtle hints of dark chocolate. On the palate this showcases its gorgeous Mountain characteristics, as it bursts onto a rich, full body with remarkable concentration and depth with penetrating layers of crème de cassis, black cherries, dark chocolate and exotic spices. It continues to impress as it delivers its dense, complex flavors, which cascade onto the long, multidimensional finish. While this is already exceedingly delicious, I also expect this to evolve and age gracefully for decades to come. (Best 2017-2037) - January, 2017(JD)
