Schmidt Family Vineyards 2016 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Published: December 16, 2020

This Southern Oregon Cabernet Sauvignon is deep ruby in color, though it shows lighter on the palate. Aromas allude to jammy red and black fruits with notes of cedar, mint, black peppercorn and dried herbs. On the palate, it delivers a beam of black cherry and blueberry balanced by a midpalate revealing structured tannins that hint at dark chocolate and graphite followed by a dry balanced finish with some baking spice liveliness.
