Purlieu 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

95 POINTS — Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
“Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon gives up exuberant notions of blackcurrant pastilles, blackberry compote and stewed red plums with touches of kirsch, potpourri, fragrant earth and cigar box. Full-bodied and opulently fruited in the mouth, the powerful flavors are well framed by firm, ripe tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy.”

93 POINTS — Wine Spectator
“Solid, featuring a direct beam of cassis and raspberry reduction flavors, flanked by anise, applewood and bramble notes. A loamy echo chimes through the rich, polished finish.”
