Lampyridae Vineyards "Communication Block" 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon
A gorgeous wine from famed Winemaker Aaron Pott! Opaque, with a rich, deep garnet color from center to rim. Layered aromas of blackberry, dark cherry and vanilla are prominent, with nut caramel toffee, earthy incense, coffee and bakeshop spices (vanilla, nutmeg and clove) emerging as the wine opens. The palate is spicy, with powerful acidity and tannins in perfect balance with the fruit and alcohol. Quite fresh on the finish, your palate will absolutely crave the next sip! With the ability to age over the next 15-20 years, this is definitely one for the collector.
