The 2015 'Mercury Head' Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning effort made by David Phinney. This intense wine opens with heady aromatics of crème de cassis, mocha, crushed mint and anise all soaring from the glass. The palate is lithe and seductive, as the wine reveals uber-dark fruit flavors accented by mocha, anise and red bell pepper. This intense, powerful wine should cellar marvelously, and while simply delicious now, try to allow this another year of bottle age to settle.
