Patrimony Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (750 ml)

This Cabernet delivers an explosive bouquet of lilac, violet, vanilla, espresso, tea, underbrush and cinnamon over concentrated dark fruit. The medium- to full-bodied palate unfolds in vivid layers, supported by an exceptionally ripe, detailed frame and energetic juiciness. It finishes very long, lifted and complex.

Jeb Dunnuck rated this 2016 Patrimony Cabernet Sauvignon 98 points. The score reflects the wine’s luxury-level concentration, polished structure and ambitious scale. It shares the highest rating for the vintage in this product’s critic set.

Dense fruit and grainy tannins saturate the palate with pencil shaving, cocoa, roasted coffee and licorice notes. Blackberry preserves and coconut emerge through the wine’s substantial core. The finish becomes sweeter and more polished as the powerful structure settles.

Blackberry, wood spice, lilac, cola and char create an intense but balanced aromatic profile. Lavish, expertly polished tannins frame cassis, toast and coffee flavors. The wine is powerful while remaining refined and composed.

Blackberry, blueberry and dark chocolate lead this firm, racy Cabernet. Solid tannins provide structure without overwhelming the plush fruit. The wine is long, reserved for the region and suitable for drinking now or holding.
