This is an exceedingly delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from this esteemed vintage. The 2012 Oakville Estate wine is 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the remainder Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This possesses wonderful aromatics of black olive, red bell pepper, anise, cassis and black cherries, which all come together beautifully. Balanced and expressive on the mid-palate, there are flavors reminiscent of black cherry, anise, crème de cassis and mocha. Overall, this is a well made wine, which will age gracefully into the next decade. (Best 2016-2028) - November, 2016 (OB)
