"Ripe black fruit with notes of baking spices, pine cones, cedar and bark. Medium- to full-bodied with creamy tannins. Succulent and fruit-forward yet a little fluid in the finish. Lots of spices and hints of sandalwood at the end."

James Suckling (JS) - 11/23

"Our goal for Starmont Cabernet Sauvignon is richness and balance, with just the right amount of restraint to achieve  a fresh,  elegant example of Cabernet Sauvignon from California’s North Coast winegrowing region. A complex medley of aromatics ranging from crushed mixed berries and fresh rhubarb to savory elements of dried sage and white pepper, all of which are underpinned by a dark chocolate note.  On the palate, the wine begins with a focused precision that gives way to plush density on the mid-palate which is framed by round tannins that melt into a long, juicy finish."
