2012 Oakville Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is warm, resonant and quite open, all signatures of this pristine Oakville site. Raspberry jam, sweet flowers and tobacco flesh out in a radiant, expressive wine that will drink well upon release. Suave, silky tannins lend polish to the mid-weight finish. The 2012 will be virtually impossible to resist young, but it should also age effortlessly for the next decade or so.

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark as a moonless night, with classic blackcurrant, blackberry fruit, moving to blueberries, licorice, creosote and incense. Complex, full-bodied and concentrated, the wine is youthful and has good tangy acidity and sweet tannin. This is a beauty that should age effortlessly for 15-20 years.

Oakville Ranch's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon bristles with energy and class. A beautifully pointed and focused wine, the 2012 impresses for its length and balance. Dark red berries, mocha, spices and new leather meld together in a radiant, seductive wine laced with nuance. The 2012 is dark, rich and voluptuous in the glass as it expresses the very best qualities of the year.
