Tasting notes
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon La Place comes from a tiny vineyard not far from Hourglass and is all Cabernet Sauvignon fermented in neutral oak before aging in new oak. It has a beautiful, full-bodied, elegant profile as well as lots of black cherry and currant fruits intermixed with notes of tobacco, gravelly earth, and lead pencil. It will drink well for 15+ years or more.

Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 22 months in 100% new French oak, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon La Place Vineyard features fragrant cassis, baked plums and dried mulberries with hints of fallen leaves, dried herbs and tobacco. Big, rich, full-bodied and firmly textured with a fair bit of chewiness, it has a long earth and spice-laced finish. 108 cases were made.
