This 2012 Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon, which also includes 5% Merlot, is a remarkable showing from Cakebread Cellars. As this compelling Howell Mountain wine opens it begins to release complex aromas of ripe blackberries and dark currants woven together with sweet spices and an earthy-forest character. This richly textured, layered Cabernet Sauvignon is even more impressive for its remarkable balance and rich, velvety mouthfeel which makes an effortless transition effortlessly to the plush finish. This is showing incredible right now, but should also continue to age gracefully for years to come. (Best 2016-2030) - November, 2015 (JD)
