The 2012 Lauren Ashton Cabernet is a fantastic later release from this great vintage. This dense colored wine begins with aromatics reminiscent of milk chocolate, sagebrush, coffee grounds and black olive with hints of cassis. There are deep flavors of red cherry, boysenberry preserves, mocha and black olive. Having a plush mouthfeel, and very masculine on the palate, this glides through the tongue and has a long, memorable finish. This Cabernet is a delight to drink now, but it has great cellaring potential as well. (Best 2016-2028) - April, 2016 (OB)
