2023 Fluffy Billows Cabernet Preview
Description
Tasting NotesThis vintage has lived up to the hype with ripe, luscious fruit forward character and yet a restrained mature backbone with length to spare. Blackberry and plum dominate with ripe current and a backdrop with cassis, eucalyptus and a hint of licorice. Blending floral tones of Cabernet Franc appear, along with the deep notes of black cherry, sage and lavender from a touch of Petit Verdot. Two years in French Oak have added a complex spice box of flavors, showing cardamom and cinnamon layered in a framework of integrated oak tannins. This vineyard site continually produces wines of great polish and drinkability, making them a joy to open while still young. Drink by itself or it can handle spiced dishes such as Moroccan Chicken Tagine, a simple cheese course or of course a classic T bone steak.
