2016 Valley of the Moon Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County

Our Cabernet Sauvignon opens with caramelized brown sugar, blackberries, bay leaves and tobacco. The entry is all ripe, red plums enveloped in dusty baking cocoa that dissolves to a spicy mix of blackberries, cinnamon sticks and white pepper.  A supple tannin structure comes up to greet the midpalate and see this wine through to a strong and lasting finish.
