2015 Herb Lamb ‘Two Old Dogs’ Cabernet Sauvignon

A classic vintage, but a bit more opulent and fruit forward than the 2014, showing deeper blue
and red fruits of dried cherry and black raspberry. There is a tobacco leaf and herbal character in the fruit which highlights the lushness of the wine. This wine is well balanced and very approachable, plush and juicy in the mouth, but with greater depth and more of a leathery character than the previous vintages.
The difficult growing season gave this wine more structure and focus with more masculine
characteristics. It shows great layers of fruit with a lengthy finish, and should continue to
develop and mature in the bottle for years to come. The use of 80% new French Oak is
reflected in the dusty cocoa mid-palate, but the oak is well-integrated for further aging.
