The 2015 Block Wines Discovery Vineyard 'Block 1' Cabernet Sauvignon was aged in French oak for 21 months prior to bottling. The wine starts off with a powerful bouquet of white rose, blackberry jam, and suggestions of Turkish coffee with smoky tones. The palate is rich as the wine is currently showing some moderate tannins. Black Forest cake, loganberry jam and sandalwood flavors entice. This has marvelous weight and tension from this exceedingly hot vintage. A mere 74 cases produced. Enjoy this outstanding wine over the next decade. If enjoying in its youth, give it at least an hour decant for the wine to fulfill its full drinking potential.
