2012 Sugarloaf Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

Toasty notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and licorice give way to aromas of cherry, violets, blackberries and cassis. Cherry liquor, blackberry and plum flavors on the palate maintain a sharp focus with freshness, good acidity and fine tannins. This substantial Cabernet has a long, complex finish and will develop further over the coming years in bottle. Drink now or cellar for 8-10 years.
