2014 Signorello ‘Padrone’ Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Padrone is a selection of the best block and barrels on the property. Sweet tobacco, graphite, plums, chocolate, menthol, licorice and dark stone fruits are vivid and intense, especially for such a big wine. Ample, generous and inviting, the 2014 is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Like all the Signorello wines today, the Padrone exudes silkiness and finesse.
WA93 The blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, the 2014 Proprietary Red Padrone shows serious levels of extract, nice blueberry and blackberry fruit, a touch of licorice and vanillin. It is not as seriously endowed as the 2013, but more open-knit and probably most consumers will enjoy it more over the next 15 or so years than the more tightly knit and more dense 2013. In any case, it is a beauty.
