Tasting notes
A rush of super-ripe dark cherry, lavender, chocolate, new French oak, violet, plum and smoke makes a strong opening statement in the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Weitz Vineyard. Unctuous and concentrated in the glass, the 2015 exudes richness in all of its dimensions. This is a very representative wine from Oakville's sundrenched Upper Plateau.

Coming from red volcanic soils located just above Backus Vineyard in Oakville, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Weitz Vineyard is undeniably mountain fruit and has a fresh, focused, chiseled style as well as incredible complexity in its black and blue fruits, incense, Asian spice, graphite, and ample crushed rock-like minerality. This beautifully complete, impeccably balanced beauty needs 3-4 years of bottle age yet will keep for 2-3 decades. Mark Carter and winemaker Mike Smith continue to make a bevy of hedonistic, sexy, powerful wines from throughout Napa Valley. These 2015s are all brilliant wines, yet quantities are tiny due to the dismal yields.
