Sabina Vineyards 2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena)

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Sabina Vineyards / St. Helena

To call this a big Cab would be an understatement. It’s a black-colored, saturated wine that detonates on the palate, offering a blast of black and red berries, currants, cassis, dark unsweetened chocolate, anise and fine, upscale new oak. But the tannins are fierce. Very fine, among the best St. Helena Cabernets of the vintage. Needs time. 2012–2020.
