Cabernet Sauvignon 'La Sophia'

2019 La Sophia presents a great nose of both black currant and cassis mingling with grilled bell peppers, cigar box, dusty pottery studio, dry sauna, and cured tobacco leaves. Aromatic herbs like rosemary and thyme weave in and out. On the palate, this is a medium+ weight Cab, firm with slightly dusty tannins coupled with balanced natural acidity. Decant for an extended time or keep your hands off and let this jewel of a Cabernet slumber in the cellar for at least a few years. A monumental Cab that will wow the fans of both new world and old world Cabernet. Whether Napa is the holy grail for you or Washington State, Bordeaux to Coastal Tuscany, 2019 La Sophia is almost an amalgamation of all the above.
