The 12 Hope & Grace Cabernet shows soft tannins and ripe fruits. Very easy to drink. The body is lean for a young Cabernet. Juicy blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, raspberries, cooked strawberries, black tea, fresh red & pink roses, cinnamon, vanilla, dark dry earth, dry stones, underbrush, very soft and light Provence herbs, black olive juice, beautiful acidity, round and juicy finish. So easy to drink the 12 vintage young.

Opaque purple in color. Cassis, cocoa powder, dusty cedar, and volatile acidity on the nose. Unfortunately the palate is most notable for a moderate amount of oxidation. 14.4% alcohol. Only 16 barrels produced. Disappointing bottle at $75. Would drink now.
