2018 Heritage School Vineyards Julie’s Creekside Cabernet Sauvignon

Description

Winery Notes:

“The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Julie’s Creekside Vineyard is lush, powerful and voluptuous. Succulent dark cherry, cedar, tobacco and licorice are all pushed forward, helped by soft contours and silky tannins that really allow the wine to be expressive. Even with all of its intensity, the 2016 retains terrific freshness and detail, always the biggest challenge with this warm site in Calistoga. Red-toned fruit, tobacco, blood orange and earthy notes add the closing shades of nuance.”
