Tasting notes
A deep, exotic wine 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Corona Vineyard boasts magnificent power, texture and intensity. Iron, smoke, blood orange, mint and violets add considerable nuance to a core of black fruit. Layers of pure flavor build to the huge, imposing finish in a broad Cabernet loaded with personality.

The opaque purple-hued 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Crona Vineyard, from gravelly, stony soils in the western Oakville hills, is the most intense, massive, structured and tannic wine of this group of 2012s. Aged in 75% new oak (250 cases produced), it offers up notes of licorice, graphite, vanillin, baking spices, blueberries and blackberries along with stupendous extract, richness and structure. Drink it over the next 20+ years.

A wild, exotic wine, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Roberto Corona Vineyard offers up an intriguing mélange of blackberries, blueberries cloves menthol, tar, smoke and licorice. White pepper, orange peel and intense floral notes add an exotic flair as the wine opens up in the glass. I can't wait to see where the 2012 goes from here. The 2012 is opulent and generous, but also nicely structured.
