The 2015 Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is a total knockout in this vintage. Composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc from the volcanic soils between 1,400 and 1,800 feet on Howell Mountain. It opens to seductive aromas of black cherries and dark currants with roasted coffee, toast, loam, sweet spices and hints of anise and fresh violets all taking shape in the glass. On the palate this possesses a gorgeous textural richness with remarkable balance and structure. Beautifully polished tannins lead the way as this displays excellent depth and concentration with lovely underlying acidity keeping it fresh and inviting through the opulent finish. Simply phenomenal now and will surely have a long graceful evolution ahead.
