Staglin Family Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate bursts out of the glass with beautiful black cherry compote, warm cassis and freshly crushed blackberries scents plus touches of chargrill, violets, dark chocolate and pencil shavings and a waft of English lavender. Full-bodied, the palate features great intensity combined with fantastic freshness, textured by soft, finely grained tannins and lifted by the most gorgeous floral perfume, finishing long and layered. Beautiful wine. Drink date: 2020-2045. Score - 97. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, robertparker.com, Sept. 30, 2019) 1500 mL bottle
