2016 Taplin Cabernet Sauvignon St Helena Napa Valley

VIN94 Taplin’s 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is even better from bottle than it was from barrel. Dark, powerful and vibrant, with terrific detail, the 2016 has a lot to offer. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, chocolate, spice, new leather and menthol grace this deep, super-expressive Cabernet Sauvignon. This is an especially nuanced Cabernet from this sector of St. Helena, where the wines are often rich to the point of being blowsy.
