Tasting notes
Dark, powerful and intense, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is laced with black cherry, plum, leather, smoke, licorice, tar, smoke and savory herbs. Plump and expressive, with a good range of textures and flavors, the 2012 is a delicious Cabernet to drink now and over the next decade.

Offering more generous amounts of blacker fruits, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon displays a deeper, richer mouthfeel as well as more stuffing. It should keep for a decade or more. (Not yet released) This new operation that hired talented winemaking consultant Luc Morlet is fashioning an assortment of reds and whites, including a Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon blend, Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, Syrahs and Cabernet Sauvignons. www.carteblanchewine.com
