The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of black olive, blackberry, anise and coffee. There are lovely flavors of anise, cassis, mocha and graphite with an acid backbone that begs for another sip. Lightly tannic, this solid bottling improves after an hour of aeration. While this should have long life ahead of it, it is hard to resist now. (Best 2015-2028) - September, 2015 (OB)
