2017 CABERNET SAUVIGNON HORSE HEAVEN HILLS
Chris Peterson Tasting note - notes of blackberry, blueberry cobbler,
cassis, woodsmoke, licorice pastille, and meadow flowers are very
inviting. The palate is taut and structured, featuring dark red and black
fruits, great minerality, and lively acidity. The finish on this wine is very
long and focused, with lingering floral and light oak elements. This wine
will reward short term cellaring, and last for a decade plus in the cellar.

(95 Points) Deep purple/plum-colored, with notes of tobacco leaf, damp earth,
chocolate, and assorted darker fruits, it hits the palate with medium to
full-bodied richness, a rounded, supple texture, polished tannins, and
a great finish. It’s beautifully done and shows the more classic, elegant
style of the vintage nicely. Jeb Dunnuck (04.15.20)
(94 Points) Polished and finely detailed, this red is impressive, featuring rich black
cherry, cofee bean and stony mineral flavors that build tension toward
fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2029. Wine Spectator (Tim Fish | Spring 2020)
