Tasting notes
Graphite, smoke, savory herbs, cedar and tobacco flesh out in the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Tamara Vineyard. This open-knit, perfumed Cabernet dazzles from start to finish. The radiant vintage has softened some of the more savory notes and angular contours that are typically present, but in exchange, the wine is already quite open and pleasing. This is a fabulous showing from Kinsella.

Dark red berries, plums, cloves, white flowers and graphite meld together in the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon. The sexiness and raciness of the vintage comes through in the wine's voluptuous personality and soft, caressing texture. The 2012 is another standout from Kevin Kinsella and winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown.
