2016 Crescere Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

JD97+ The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon comes all from the estate Reynoso Vineyard in the Alexander Valley and saw 22 months in 80% new oak. It’s a rich, incredibly powerful wine that has sensational notes of black currants, high-class smoke tobacco, chocolate, and leafy herbs. With remarkable purity, building tannins, and a great, great finish, it’s going to keep for 20-25 years. I followed this bottle for multiple days and it only improved with air.
