The Cabernet Sauvignon was designed to be easy drinking, and it bursts from the glass with aromas of chocolate-covered cherries, charcuterie, wild thyme and aniseed. The full-bodied palate is bright and fresh with pure fruit, supple tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink it 2025-2030. —E.B.
What We Thought: The term "natural wine" is difficult to define. Our experience with most has been unpredictable and/or underwhelming. This Cabernet is the exception. Juicy blue fruits, leafy tobacco, violets, and orange blossom notes all emerge, and it’s medium to full-bodied, has a beautifully balanced, fruit-forward style, no hard edges, and a great finish. It’s no simple fruit bomb and has notable structure, ripe tannins, and outstanding length.
