The 2013 'Oakville Estate' Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark, opaque colored wine, which opens to aromas of pencil lead, sage, red bell pepper and crème de cassis aromatics all at play. This has a silky mouthfeel which delivers layers of dark fruit flavors followed by licorice, crème de cassis, mocha and mint, adding in complexity. Light tannins connect with a long, mineral infused, black fruit driven finish. This excellent Cabernet Sauvignon will cellar beautifully for a decade or more. (Best 2017-2030) - August, 2017 (OB)
