Martin Ranch 2012 Thérèse Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Thérèse Vineyards Estate
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Martin Ranch / Santa Cruz Mountains

Done in the classically savory Santa Cruz Mountains style, this bottling shows black and red licorice on the nose along with blueberry and blackberry fruit. It’s brisk on the palate and still wound up tightly, with blackberry, peppercorn and black-olive flavors lifted by dried herbs.
