A huge array of crème de cassis, blueberries, flowers, and spicy, sandalwood-like characteristics emerge from the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb, which has more than a passing resemblance to a great vintage of Château Margaux. Showing more tobacco and herbal characteristics with time in the glass, this full-bodied, multi-dimensional, seamless 2016 has everything you could want from a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoy it over the coming 20-25+ years.

A barrel sample, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb Vineyard sports a very deep purple-black color and exuberant nose of crushed wild blueberries, red and black cherries and black plums with touches of dried sage, garrigue, tilled soil and chargrill plus a waft of pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is vivacious, refreshing and savory, featuring red and black fruits and framed by fine-grained tannins, finishing long and earthy.
