2012 The Wine Stash Cabernet Sauvignon "S" Reserve

Estate: The Wine Stash

Region: Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United States of America

Tasting Note:January 14, 2017

Deep garnet red. Nose has a bit of that 'Rutherford Dust' as well as dried black cherries, light plums and a bit of graphite. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Very dark palate, with dark cocoa, espresso beans, tons of dark cherries and a bit of vanilla on the finish. Definitely gained more and more darkness even some dark spices, really like the added complexity. Slightly gritty texture and long finish. Built for a solid 10 years.

Only 50 cases produced.
