"The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon The Leap was aged 20 months in 50% new French oak. This is a beautiful wine, offering up an opaque purple color and a beautiful nose of floral-infused blackberries and blueberries, as well as cassis. This is a wine of great intensity, with a multilayered mouthfeel and deep, pure richness. This stunner should drink well for 20-25 years. This is a fascinating array of wines, especially some of the intriguing red wine cuvées produced at this winery, which has a long history (established in 1893)."
