St. Helena Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Sympa 2012

The 2012 Sympa Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is from the vintage lauded by critics and is stunning to drink now. The wine is luscious and unrestrained out of the bottle. This is a wine to share now and impress your friends. Please call the winery about older vintages and large format bottles.

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.

Even deeper, richer and more profound is the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Sympa This wine has a dense purple color, a beautiful nose of white flowers, blue and black fruits and charcoal embers followed by a full-bodied, layered mouthfeel with terrific purity, sweet finely grained tannins, low acidity, plenty of glycerin and punch. The complexity is already starting to push through with secondary nuances. This compelling effort can be drunk now or cellared for another 20 years.
