Desert Wind Winery 2016 Sandstorm Series Cabernet Sauvignon
Published: January 15, 2021
Seamless, beautifully structured and balanced, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a Bordeaux style blend with 19% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec. Lovely aromas are complex with notes of dark berry jam, cedar, sweet tobacco, black peppercorn, Allspice and dried herbs. It offers a luscious mouthfeel with flavors of black raspberry displaying lively acidity before revealing notes of finely ground espresso and a lengthy finish with flavors alluding to cocoa, baking spice and just a hint of graphite.
