Surh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

For some folks who cannot get enough oak in their Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine will more than meet their needs. Aged 34 months in French oak, a year longer than usual, this mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is as intense and powerful as any from us.

Due to its excellent acidity, it takes a bit of aeration to reveal itself. Though the initial impression is similar to the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon—sage, blackberry, cherry, vanilla, the difference is the grip, intensity and the long finish. While one can easily think something like a Porterhouse to accompany it, it is also a good reminder to brush your teeth.
