Tasting notes
Another high-elevation site for Tor Kenward is his 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Cimarossa Vineyard from a steep vineyard planted at a 2,100-foot elevation on Howell Mountain. This vineyard is often used in the Beringer Private Reserve program. This wine is one of the more backward of the 2014s, with high tannin, full body, loads of mulberry, graphite, licorice and blue and black fruits. It is rich and would probably benefit from several years of bottle age and keep for 25-30 years.

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Cimarossa is a big, bombastic wine. A blast of black cherry, chocolate, licorice, spice and tobacco are all dialed up to the maximum. Dense and opulent to the core, the 2014 is notably rich. It is also starting to show some signs of evolution. Any remaining bottles need to be finished.
