Gandona Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Encosta 2013
Showing dark luscious fruit, fabulous texture, and excellent balance. The bouquet is packed with juicy black currant, sweet spices, licorice and hints of leather. These evolve on the palate into cassis, plum sauce, pipe tobacco, and cedar spice. This supple wine is delicious now and will continue to deliver pleasure for another decade or so.
