TOR Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 'Black Magic' 2014

The 2014 'Black Magic' Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterpiece from Tor Kenward. The selection of fruit for this wine comes from the best barrels, regardless of what part of the valley they are from. The result is a simply monumental wine, which delivers seductive aromas of blackberries and dark currants woven together with sweet spices, mocha, graphite, spicebox and hints of floral all coming together and bursting from the glass. On the palate this full-bodied, voluptuous red is well structured and balanced, as it continues to impress with its deep layers and concentrated flavors of ripe dark fruits, sweet spices and mocha, which all cascade across the palate. This profound wine demonstrates a gorgeous textural richness with an opulent mouthfeel and polished tannins leading up to the exceedingly long finish. Tor and winemaker Jeff Ames have achieved something incredibly special and rare with this wine, as they were able to combine remarkable power, depth and concentration, while keeping it all in balance, resulting in a flawless wine. While this is already extreamly delicious, I expect it to continue to evolve gracefully and drink beautifully for decades to come. (Best 2019-2040) - January, 2017 (JD)
