" From an estate vineyard on Cloverdale Peak and an 80/20 split of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Pine Mountain has a rocking bouquet of crème de cassis, violets, lots of crushed rock-like minerality, and underbrush. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, elegant Cabernet with silky tannins, beautiful balance, and lush, layered style on the palate. It's a terrific wine as well as a great value in California Cabernet Sauvignon."
