2017 John Anthony Oak Knoll District Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes:
"Sourced from our hillside and valley-floor vineyards in the Oak Knoll District, this cabernet sauvignon showcases its diverse terroir exhibiting intensity, structure and lush silkiness. Powerful dark berry fruit aromas open to rose petals, black tea and mocha. Black fruit notes of cherry and marionberry deepen flavors of red plum skin, raspberry jam and cassis with hints of cardamom, potpourri and cacao bean intermingling throughout the palate."
