Murphy-Goode 2012 Terra A Lago Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)

Country: US / Terra A Lago
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Murphy-Goode / Alexander Valley

This 100% varietal wine opens with a strong bouquet of black licorice, maybe even fennel, before big, boisterous tannins stomp the stage. Full bodied and exuberant in blackberry and black cherry, the oak is measured. A backbone of structure could stand up to aging.
