My favorite varietally true expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from Happy Canyon - Santa Ynez Valley. Very nicely balanced acidity and ripeness not overdone. Very expressive dark fruit and some woody herbs. Decanted and consumed hours later. Fine grained tannin and restrained more so than most common SYV producers. This wine stands apart as a very balanced Cab without being “big” yet still offering plentiful fruit and beautiful bouquet.
