This **2017 Santa Cruz Mountains Estate Cabernet Sauvignon** is polished and structured, with ripe blackberry and cassis at the core. Notes of tobacco, licorice, coffee, and toasted oak add depth, while violet and graphite lift the aromatics. The texture is silky but still firmly framed, giving it a classic, age-worthy Cabernet profile. It can call to mind a restrained, mountain-grown Napa-style Cabernet, but with a more savory, fresh edge.
Serve it with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, or mushroom dishes.
