2014 Villa Del Lago Cabernet Sauvignon Etched 6L

ROBERT PARKER 98 POINTS

From one of the great sites Dave Del Dotto owns on Pritchard Hill, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Villa del Lago (the vineyard sits next to the Bryant Family Vineyard) is another 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 100% new oak. There are just over 600 cases of this wine, which is one of the more spectacular 2014s, with a soaring nose of spring flowers, blackberry, cassis, camphor, vanillin and graphite. Super-rich and opulent, with a voluptious texture and great purity this fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon should age and drink well for 20-25 years.

Tasting Notes:

Aromas of rose petal and fresh cut flowers.  A seamless velvet mouthfeel with flavors of cinnamon, spices and licorice. Long silky smooth finish with a hint of oak. This is an elegant well balanced wine from start to finish that will age 20+ years.
