2013 HEROLD OAKVILLE CABERNET 6.0L

The first thing you notice about this wine is its saturated color:  An inky glass-staining indigo black.  Then an explosive purity of red and black fruit aromas;  ripe exotic mountain berries, black raspberries and black strawberries are followed by otherworldly notes of scorched earth, graphite and mocha.  A power house of a wine that is succulently soft, seamless and elegant.  Every sip beckons another . . . and why not?  This sexy femme fatale will seduce your palate over the next 25 plus years!"  100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
