2014 August Briggs Cabernet Sauvignon Two Moon Vineyard Dry Creek Valley

Winemakers Notes: Our 2016 is reminiscent of a cru classé Bordeaux meaning it is not a big, rich, jammy style of Cabernet but rather restrained, elegant and focused more on earth, red fruit and cedar tones. It has a classic claret fragrance of plum, bell pepper, spice and mild oak. The fruit still is deep and rich which shows its California pedigree but the balance, opulent tannins and mellow finish give it a subtle nod to a European claret style of Cabernet Sauvignon. Best to consume from 2018-2025.
