2014 Sleeping Lady Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

A dark ruby center cuts to a magenta edge, and the nose swirls with violets, baking spices, vanilla, licorice, and black cherries. Layers of ripe cherry, currant and blackberry are stitched together by notes of white pepper, tobacco, chocolate and damp earth. This wine is big, complex, and angular and has a precision and focus that other wines in this style can lack. Allowing this cuvée proper time to breath, one can begin the see the careful and deliberate wine making techniques as displayed through this unique, vineyard site.
