97-99 LPB. "A barrel sample, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Las Piedras Vineyard gives a very deep purple-black color and amazingly intense nose of blackcurrants, blackberry pie and blueberry compote with hints of star anise, Sichuan pepper and charcuterie with touches of pencil shavings and tobacco. Full-bodied, very firm and taut in the mouth, the muscular fruit offers glimpses at wonderful earth, black fruit and savory layers with a long, mineral-laced finish." Wine Advocate, Dec 2017 |
