Renaissance Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon

Dark ruby in color, this wine smells of cherries, lilacs, and cedar aromas. In the mouth it is incredibly aromatic, with soaring flavors of cherry, cedar, floral notes and hints of darker deeper earth and leather. Muscled, suede-soft tannins hug the palate and linger as the wine finishes in a resonant way. Excellent. This is my kind of Cabernet Sauvignon; it's gorgeous now, but it should age well for decades. It has concentrated aromas and flavors of cedar and black currants, somewhat like a California version of a good Left Bank Bordeaux, such as a Pauillac. It has great depth, and is driven by its excellent acidity--unusual for California.
