Bottled under screwcap and a blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Merlot all from Howell Mountain, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate offers serious intensity and depth in its black, black fruits, scorched earth, charcoal and smoke tobacco-like aromas and flavors. Ripe, concentrated and tannic, it's one good looking Cabernet Sauvignon that needs forgotten for 4-5 years and enjoyed over the following 15+ years.

This is a deliciously elegant wine with robust Napa Valley fruit. Reduced on the nose, and showing a depth of oak, it offers sage, blueberry and black-currant flavors wrapped in chocolate-covered espresso beans. Tightly concentrated it has tremendous structure and a hint of dust on the finish.

A dense and polished red with lots of blackberry and blueberry character, as well as round and finely textured tannins. Full body with driven fruit and tannins. Licorice, berry and chocolate aftertaste. A big wine that shows tension and form. Drink in 2020 but attractive now if you like the youthful fruit.
