2012 Lasseter Family Winery 'Reminiscence' Sonoma Valley

(91 Points  --  Wine Enthusiast)

This concentrated, full-bodied wine blends 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, all grown from the producer's Upper Bench blocks known for cobbly soils. Brick, tar and pencil shavings accent a considerable presence of tannin and toasty oak. It should show best from 2020 to 2022. — Virginie Boone   Issue 12-1-2016
