Casa Piena Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Sleek yet rich, offering a mix of red and black fruits, with olive, sage, cedar and tobacco notes. The firm finish unfolds with hints of game and road tar. Should reward cellaring.

The wine displays a deep purple hue with a dark garnet halo. Rich aromas of hibiscus reduction, toasted cedar bark, raspberry compote, wild violet, and eucalyptus oil emerge in waves. The palate experience is noticeably darker suggesting notes of bittersweet dark chocolate, star anise, macerated blackberries, spearmint, flint, and baking spices. The trajectory of this wine is absolutely seamless, and the tannin so finely integrated it drinks more like a wine that has already been cellared for 5-7 years.
