Karl Lawrence Cabernet Sauvignon Pocai 2019
A delicious game-changer for this under-the-radar winery , the 2019 Karl Lawrence Pocai Vineyard Cabernet soars from the glass with lavish, dark ripe fruit flavors including currant, raspberry, black cherry, and plum with an inviting mélange of sweet tobacco leaf, mocha and creamy caramel.
