Barbour Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

This is one of the best Cabs they’ve ever produced.  The vineyard always seems to yield spectacular fruit with a very lifted, slightly perfumed flair to the purple boysenberry and blackberry notes. 

This vintage seems to emphasize those aromatic qualities even more intensely.  Notes of plum, cinnamon, nutmeg and sweet earth add complexity.  The mouthfeel is full, fruit-forward and elegant with approachable tannins and just enough grip to lend weight to the core.  The finish echoes the aromas, with forward, juicy fruit notes.
