Taplin 2016 Estate Napa Cabernet Sauvignon

The nose offers rich, deep notes of dried plums, crushed basil leaves, and raspberry tart. An intense core of juicy black cherry and boysenberry delivers wonderful fruit purity, complemented by intriguing notes of wild thyme, summer berry bramble, and caramelized sweet potato. The well-integrated tannins and sleek and slippery texture carry the wine through its long finish of black cherries and dried mint.
