Tasting notes
I absolutely love the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith, which displays the riper, sexy style of the vintage while staying pure, focused, and perfectly balanced. Full-bodied aromas and flavors of currants, red plums, spices, leather, and dried herbs all defined the aromatics, and it hits the palate with incredible intensity and depth yet stays weightless and elegant. Drink this complex, layered, straight-up awesome wine over the coming 20-25 years.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith has a medium garnet-purple color and a hauntingly beautiful nose of kirsch, red roses, fragrant soil and menthol over a core of blueberry compote, raspberry pie and preserved plums plus faint glimpses of crushed rocks, lavender, tapenade and smoked meats. The palate is full-bodied, tightly knit and super intense with a solid structure of perfectly ripe, fine-grained tannins and tons of freshness, finishing very long and minerally. This is one of those very rare wines that so beautifully straddles the pinnacles of hedonic and the cerebral experiences, forever compelling you to take just one more sip.
