McNab Ridge 2013 Family Reserve Largo Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendocino County)

Country: US / Family Reserve Largo
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: McNab Ridge / Mendocino County

A gentle giant of a wine, this has huge flavors, great structure and massive fine-grained tannins but it’s still poised and balanced. It smells almost beefy, rich, dark and black cherry-ish, yet with tasty nuances of smoke and caramel, tastes full and generous and feels attractively astringent. Best to drink after 2017.
