Coup de Foudre's flagship Cabernet Sauvignon Lightning Bolt is impressive in 2017. Dark, plush and beautifully textured, the 2017 has so much to offer. Blackberry jam, chocolate, mocha, espresso and licorice all run through this gorgeous four-barrel cuvée. Silky, polished and sensual, the 2017 is going to be impossible to resist, even upon release.

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Lightning Bolt has a deep garnet-purple color. It needs a little coaxing to reveal profound cassis, blackberry preserves and plum pudding notes with nuances of tobacco leaf, black olives, dried herbs, charcuterie and cedar chest. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a firm structure of grainy tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing long and earthy. 100 cases were made.
