This majestic wine will need considerable time to evolve, however, it is very exciting sampling it in the barrel, as this already intense and structured Cabernet is exceedingly delicious at this juncture. This Cabernet is sourced from vineyards in the Pritchard Hill AVA. The wine begins with intoxicating aromatics of spicecake, anise, crème de cassis, and dark chocolate. There are rich flavors of anise, crème de cassis, milk chocolate, black cherry and baking spices. Balanced, poised, yet intense, this looks to be a remarkable effort from the winemaking team at Del Dotto. - Barrel Sample - (Best 2017-2035) - October, 2016 (OB)
