2012 Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

The 2012 Nicholson Jones Cabernet is a deep glass-staining purple, showing rings of ruby as it moves towards the edge of the glass. Vanilla bean and cassis on the nose mingle with blackberry jam, cinnamon and spice. Ripe and explosively opulent, juicy cherries and plums combine with blackberry and currant, again expressing their concentration on the pallet. This wine is full bodied and rich, with silky tannins and a long sweet finish. Decant two to three hours for full expression of aromatics.
