Canvasback 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Canvasback / Red Mountain

Coming from a who’s who of Red Mountain vineyards, the inaugural release of this brand from Duckhorn Vineyards offers generous notes of dark coffee, espresso bean, dark cherries, sage and vanilla, with a pleasing interplay between fruit and barrel (64% new French). The plum and coffee flavors are restrained in style, with well-integrated tannins.
