2017 Sleeping Lady Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes
Herbs, candied fruit, vanilla, and violets on the nose meet clove studded spice notes in layers of complex and heady perfume. Sweet fruit on the pallet gives up ripe blackberry, cherry, and cassis flavors balanced by fresh acid, fine dying tannins, and a peppery finish. Time in the glass reveals an earthy backdrop of sous bois, tobacco box, leather, and wet rocks, giving one the impression of a fine Bordeaux house in a ripe year, all the while showing archetypal American boldness and largess. Giving this wine plenty of air will reward the patient. Drink now or hold and enjoy over the next decade.
