2018 Sleeping Lady Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

Freshness and wet stone make an initial impression on the nose giving way to abundant red and black fruit, baking spices, and vanilla. Time in the glass also reveals purple and blue flowers and additional back notes of tanned leather and anisette. Flavors of blackberry, kirsch, and red and black currants meet bracing acidity and chewy tannins that resolve to a long, peppery finish.

At just a few years in bottle this wine is still showing its youthful exuberance. It’s delicious now, but don’t be surprised if this cu-vee ages gracefully for another decade or more.
