St. Supéry Cabernet Sauvignon Dollarhide Vineyard Estate 2016 Napa Valley - California

This Cabernet Sauvignon presents with deep, dark reds and purples. Aromas are opulent with ripe blackberry, cassis, black plum, espresso as well as a subtle thread of anise. A rich, dense profile follows with flavors of dark, ripe, blackberry, black plum and dark chocolate, with a fine French oak influence. This is a deep, structured wine with excellent fine-grained tannins.

Moving to the reds, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Dollarhide Estate Vineyard is all varietal and spent 18 months in 48% new French oak. It offers lots of smoky blue fruits, scrub brush, and damp earth notes, an inky purple color, medium to full body, a big kick of gravelly minerality, and a great finish. Coming from the oldest vines on the estate, it’s a seriously good Napa Cabernet that will benefit from a year or three of bottle age and cruise for two decades.

Bright violet and red-cherry aromas lead to a very succulent and plush palate that has attractively fine and firm tannins, carrying fresh red-cherry and blackberry flavors. Fresh fruit expands handsomely on the finish. Drink or hold.
