TOR Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 'Black Magic' 2017

Tor and Winemaker Jeff Ames have once again dialed it up a notch with this epic release of Black Magic. This is a total beauty and just as sensational today as it was a few months ago when tasted from barrel. The 2017 Black Magic is a special selection of the best five barrels from the vintage, consisting of co-fermented Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot with the addition of Cabernet Franc from an iconic vineyard in Oakville. It instantly begins to impress with absolutely stunning aromas of ripe blackberries, dark currants, pencil shavings, violets, sweet spices, mocha and fresh tobacco nuances that all come together and burst from the glass. On the palate this possesses a gorgeous full body with beautifully polished tannins and a deep, layered core of perfectly ripe dark fruits that expand seamlessly across the palate and leave a lasting impression. Impecablly structured, balanced and concentrated, this has it all. While this already has so much to offer at this early stage, it will also go on age gracefully for decades to come.
