2014 Laki's Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Laki's Vineyard, Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley
An elegant, sophisticated beauty, this Cabernet pours into a deep, majestic, and rich purple. The wafting aromatics possess a mélange of vibrant scents. Toasty French oak supports fragrances of raspberry, vibrant cranberry, and a hint of Christmas spice. Bold yet elegant and restrained, the flavors find a beautiful balance. Blackberry, cassis, and red currant flood the mouth to entice the palate. Tannins are soft and integrated, and taper out to a lovely, savory finish.
