The 'Widowmaker' Cabernet Sauvignon was aged in 40% new French 600L puncheons prior to bottling. This deep hued Cabernet Sauvignon begins with complex aromatics of blackberry cobbler, Asian spices, black tea and milk chocolate with suggestions of thyme, tangerine zest and black truffles. The overall structure, balance and tension is outstanding, as this wine showcases a wonderful sense of freshness, along with dense, concentrated flavors of blackberry pie, blueberry liquor, cassis, black tea and hints of citrus fruit. The intensity and textural richness is quite impressive, as this is another stunning release from Cayuse. (Best 2017-2028) - August, 2017 (OB)
