This unfolding white offers lemon and oaky spice on the nose and palate, with rounded, silky flavors and a spicy finish. A bit bigger and richer, it can handle bigger dishes—think lobster, oysters, cream dishes.

Seems rather mature for such a young wine, but that doesn’t diminish its pleasure. It’s a complex Cabernet Sauvignon that shows a vast array of scents and flavors, ranging from leather and damp earth to dates, plums, strawberries and herbs. Classic tobacco flavors chime in on the finish. Drink now.
