Wine Enthusiast
The Cabernet Sauvignon from Peter Martin Ray Vineyard has a beautiful, intense color. The nose is juicy with notes of black fruit and spices, accompanied by hints of precious wood, balsamic, cedar, and pencil lead. You can sense that it has reached full maturity, with the fruit bursting with intensity. The woodiness highlights the contours. The palate is full and rich. The wine has a beautiful concentrated structure without being heavy. It is still very young and the aging is still noticeable. A beautiful tannic structure prolongs and finishes the finish. Great potential!
