Lucas & Lewellen 2011 Cote del Sol Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / Cote del Sol
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Lucas & Lewellen / Santa Barbara County

The weather-wracked vintage of 2011 affected this sometimes stunning bottling, presenting bell pepper greenness with a hint of black earth. It’s thin on the palate, which leans toward the greener side of the Cab spectrum, but remains very drinkable with cherry cola and mocha flavors.
