In the glass, this wine’s zesty tangerine, mango, and tropical aromas mingle with creamy golden notes and a hint of herbs. With the first sip, more citrus flavors bloom in the mouth beside a rivulet of pineapple, then blossom into a lavishly textured mid-section. The wine finishes with a lovely crisp minerality. Enjoy when young and fresh, or over the next two to three years.
100% Estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine was barrel aged for 14 months in 50% one- to three-year-old barrels, and 50% new French and American oak . A stylish wine with great balance and flavor. Red cherry and raspberry are followed by notes of charred oak, deep earth and subtle pepper spices.
Arguably, this is hands down the finest vintage of Cuvee le Bec we have ever produced. There is a unique energy to this vintage that is captivating. With 50% Syrah in the blend, the 2014 has a darker edge with delicious fruit, earth, and spice that are the hallmarks of this wine. Deftly balanced with phenomenal mouthfeel, this could be the longest lived Cuvee le Bec ever produced. With aging potential up to 15-18 years, this, as always, is an incredible value!
