Idle Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Peaceland Vineyard, Fountain Grove, Sonoma 2016

NVWE Notes: This complex Cabernet grows in depth and seductiveness as it airs. The nose unveils sweet dark plum, blueberry, teaberry, pink rose, vanilla, toffee, laurel and peppercorn scents in elegant harmony. There is polished tannic grip and greater focus on the palate, where notes of licorice root, date, leather and peppercorn underscore the wine's deeper core of plum-blueberry fruit. Lingering, stylish and notably food-worthy, it should grow more so over the next two years. 188 cases produced.
