Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Pierra soars from the glass with scents of rose petal, cinnamon, pomegranate, mint and orange peel. Time has done wonders in softening some of the edges. The 2015 is so expressive today. This is another wine that has come together beautifully with age. Readers who own it will be thrilled.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Pierra emerges from a single block within the Leopoldina vineyard. Rich and sumptuous, yet with striking freshness, the 2015 is absolutely compelling. Beams of salinity and minerality give the red-toned fruit unmistakable energy and vibrancy. Floral notes develop later, adding aromatic lift and striking perfume. (Drink between 2022-2040) (96+) (AG)
Displaying an inky purple-black color and a nose of warm red currants and red plums with a cassis and blueberry core with wafts of underbrush, moss and cedar chest, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Pierra is full-bodied and very solidly structured with firm, fine-grained tannins and a lively line cutting through the youthful, pure black and red fruits, finishing on a lingering mineral note.
