Cabernet Sauvignon – 2016; Topping and Legnon Winery; Santa Rosa, California

Sourced from the North Coast AVA, this estate grown wine is a beautiful beast to savor. With a little franc and malbec added to this lovely blend (82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cab Franc, and 9% Malbec), this bold red wine is still tasting quite young.  Cedar and mocha are the predominate notes that greet you followed by rich, ripe blackberries.  It is very dry, so not for the faint of heart. That mouth gripping feel will certainly please the serious red wine lover in you and that extra-long finish will only entice you to come back for more.  Keep that other bottle or two around longer, because this show will only get better with time.  Simply lovely and Cheers!
