Pushing the limits of perfection, the 2014 Sacrashe Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is an utterly fascinating wine, which even surpasses last year’s outstanding release. The aromatics are simply seductive, showing off nuances of crème de cassis, roasted coffee, cigar box and anise. Richly textured and voluptuous, this delivers layer upon layer of complex flavors focused around crème de cassis, mocha, anise and sweet pipe tobacco which continue to build and evolve on the palate. The seamless quality to this wine is apparent, as is the weight and intensity. Decadent, masculine and remarkably concentrated, this is a stunning effort from the talented hands of winemaker Steve Leveque, which will continue to drink beautifully for decades to come.
