The 2012 Barbour Cabernet Sauvignon is made by Celia Welch, who is also the winemaker for Scarecrow, and this wine shares many simalarities to to her 2012 Scarecrow M. Etain Cabernet. This offer characteristics of blueberry pie with blackberry liquor and sweet tobacco wrapped up in silky smooth tannins. Finish is long and persistant, with a touch of toasted marshmallow. This will be at a wonderful drinking stage in a couple years when the tannins mellow just a touch. Overall, a simply delicious wine (Best 2018-2032) - October, 2015 (VM)
