A single-vineyard blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 4% Merlot and 4% Malbec that has 18 months of barrel aging, the medium garnet-purple colored 2012 Parterre Cabernet Sauvignon is a little reticent on the nose at this youthful stage, offering notions of red plums, black raspberries and black cherries with hints of cedar, anise and pencil lead. Medium-bodied, it gives great intensity of elegant red fruit flavors matched by well-played oak and refreshing acidity before finishing long with earth and spice layers. Drink it now to 2020+.
