Casa Piena's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon has turned out beautifully. I can't remember tasting a vintage of Casa Piena with this much finesse, nuance and pure class. Silky tannins let the fruit shine in this delicious, compelling Cabernet from Carmen Policy and Casa Piena. The 2016 is not especially complex, but it scores very high on the pleasure scale.

Casa Piena's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon packs a serious punch. As is often the case, the young Cabernet from barrel is incredibly primary. Graphite, gravel, smoke, cured meat, licorice and spice add to a feeling of gravitas and virile intensity. I can't wait to taste the 2016 from bottle.
