Score 93/100 · Drink 2022-2036, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2018

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Le Nouveau Western emerges from a parcel in the Star vineyard in Rutherford planted with Martha's Clone Cabernet. Bold, powerful and savory, the Nouveau Western is full of character. Crushed leaves, tobacco, cedar and menthol give the 2016 an expressive aromatic upper register that is quite distinctive. Iron, chocolate and dark red fruit flavors develop with time in the glass. Bold and racy, with tons of nuance, the 2016 has so much to offer. This deceptively medium-bodied Cabernet packs a real punch.

Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Le Nouveau Western Star Vineyard features warm blackcurrants, preserved plums and spice box scents with hints of lavender and black olives. Full-bodied, rich, peppery and decadent in the mouth, it has a firm yet beautifully plush texture and great length. 106 cases produced.
