Kenzo “Ai” Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Estate 2012
The 2012 Kenzo Ai is a classic in the making! Sophisticated and powerful, this Cabernet offers up a charming bouquet of currant, black plum, allspice, and cedar. This picture-perfect example of the 2012 vintage delivers a graceful expression of dark fruit richness, hints of spices, and a long, persistent finish emblematic of this winemaker’s flair. The texture is velvety and the balance is impeccable, suggesting that it will cellar for 20+ years if that is a priority. Plus, this is a majestic red that will thrill now (decant prior to 2020). Highly Recommended!
