Peter Paul 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon

Winery Notes:

It’s become instructive–and enjoyable—to consider this newest Cabernet Sauvignon release alongside recent vintages. If 2015 was fun and fleshy, and 2016 was deep and daring, 2017 is brimming with confidence. Like a sinewy cross-fitter built from struggle, this wine fully challenges the perception of a "down vintage." Soaring aromatics are the first striking thing you'll notice. Next, fine-tuned layers of red & black fruits, roasted herbs and spices, unsweetened cocoa develop in the glass with a particularly beautiful potency. With time in the glass, the touch of austerity yields to a delicious and cerebral complexity. Drink over 5-8 years – decant if opening before 2022.
