2014 Apriori ‘Reserve’ Cabernet Sauvignon

WSI 95, RP 92: The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, whose fruit comes from both mountains (Howell Mountain) and the valley floor (Yountville) is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 20 months in 70% new French oak. It is a tiny cuvée of 86 cases, but an outstanding wine in its lush, blackcurrant fruit, licorice, tobacco leaf, spice box and medium to full-bodied, round and generous personality. Drink it over the next 15 years.
