Textbook Mise en Place Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
This new release soars from the glass with captivating aromas of baking spices and melted dark chocolate that lead to a luscious, deftly balanced experience featuring layers of black fruit complimented by seamlessly integrated, creamy French oak and firm tannins. Hints of figs, herbs, espresso and semi-sweet Godiva chocolate linger on the prodigious finish. This gem maintains a sense of age-worthy elegance rarely found in pure Cabernets at this price. Enjoy tonight (decant 15 minutes) or anytime over the next 5 – 7 years, peaking 2021 – 2024 depending upon your palate.
