La Crema Sonoma Coast Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
California
United States

"Though not yet labeled as such, this is all Pocket Peak fruit. The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County pours a youthful purple/magenta-rimmed color and balances mountain fruit with plush accessibility. A blend including 20% Merlot raised in both French and American oak, it reveals granite, plum compote, blueberry, vanilla, and floral spice. Full-bodied and youthful, it has coating fruit balanced by enough acidity to remain lifted. It’s ideal for near-term drinking over the next 3-5 years." —Jeb Dunnuck

"Pretty aromas of violets and pencil shavings mingle with blackberry and plum on the nose of this Cabernet. The palate is mid-bodied and juicy, with balanced acid and tannin framing flavors of black cherry jam, salty plum compote, black pepper, dry cocoa, and cinnamon." —Wine Enthusiast
