2014 Taub Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Mount Veeder, USA (750ml)

TASTING NOTE:

High toned and savory in leather, tobacco and oak, this tiny production does a good job highlighting the feral appellation, with plenty of structure and intrigue. A richness of cassis and chocolate while away on the finish.

WINEMAKER’S NOTE:

Deep and dark-colored. Full-bodied, concentrated, rich, and dense, with a luxurious, polished mouthfeel. An alluring bouquet of brooding dark fruits and subtle floral notes highlighted by toasted oak and spice aromas. Piles on layer after layer of primary fruit and more complex flavors. Red and black currants, plum, toffee pudding, fig, and black licorice intermingle with tobacco leaf, Turkish coffee, cigar box, and cedar. A firm backbone of dusty tannins runs throughout, leading to a lengthy texturallaced and flavor-filled finish.
