RARECAT Cabernet Sauvignon
Canon Creek - Howell Mountain - St Helena
2017

Aromatically-layered, big mouth feel, complex.  Oak is integrated and there is a nice acidity.  The RARECAT Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 benefited from 80% new oak, 2 years in barrel, and 2 years of bottle age.  This wine is approachable now but will continue to evolve nicely over the next 15 years.  This wine benefits from decanting.  

Tasting Notes

Wow.  The mountain fruit dominates with dark fruit and deep, full body wine texture.  The dark, deep color foreshadow the rich layers of plum, raspberry, red cherry, spice, cocoa, and licorice. Big, chewy tannins and big body.  The finish lingers and a bright acidity makes this a great food wine.
