2020 Coeur de Vallee Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep garnet colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur de Vallee needs considerable swirling before it erupts with powerful black and blue berry notes - cassis, blueberries, and blackberry preserves - giving way to hints of mocha, licorice, and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, rich, velvety, and so, so concentrated, it has beautiful freshness, leading to a long, long, long finish on this beautiful wine. The blend is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Cabernet Franc coming from Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard.
