CLOS DU VAL Cabernet Sauvignon 'Estate' 2014

This wine is an excellent blend of 93% Cabernet, 3.5% Merlot, and 3.5% Cabernet Franc that was aged for 20 months in 40% new French oak prior to bottling in June 2016. The wine begins with aromatics reminiscent of cassis, dried sage, black cherry compote, and coffee grounds. This leads to deep flavors of mocha, green bell pepper, crème de cassis and suggestions of baking spices. Smooth and silky, this has a wonderfully polished mouthfeel. This really needs another year in the bottle for the fruit to fully amalgamate. (Best 2018-2030) - May, 2017 (OB)
