2016 Le Pich Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Le Pich features very pretty notes of crushed blueberries, blackberries and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of violets and cedar chest plus a waft of bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, packed with vibrant black fruits and plushly textured, this buxom beauty is ready for biz, finishing satisfyingly long and spicy.
WS92 A polished style, with a frame of ganache and melted licorice around a dense core of cassis, blackberry reduction and fig compote flavors. Has oomph for sure, but shows freshness and purity on the finish as well. Drink now through 2028.
Estate Notes: A deep ruby robe, with darker black fruit and mineral aromas on the nose. The palate brightens into a ripe strawberry, raspberry and boysenberry core, layered with notes of lack licorice and nutmeg. Fluid and smooth, the wine blends rich fruit complexity, elegant freshness, and well-integrated tannins. This vintage is delightful at release, but also worthy of cellaring another 2-6 years.
