Very subtle, fresh aromas of currants, mushrooms and leaves. Medium to full body, very fine tannins and a refined, beautiful finish. Shows finesse and balance. Succulent. Drink or hold.

The 2017 Onda is plump, juicy and wonderfully inviting. Readers will have a very hard time keeping their hands off this gorgeous, racy Cabernet. Plush fruit, silky tannins and soft curves give the 2017 a wonderful sense of immediacy that is impossible to miss. Dark red cherry, spice, menthol and licorice infuse the 2017 with striking layers of nuance. In this vintage, most of the fruit is from Crystal Springs, there is less Hershey, as the small amount of fruit that was harvested in that site went into the single-vineyard bottling. This is such a beautiful and delicious wine.
