The 2012 "Townsend Vineyard" Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Napa Valley offering with impressive ripeness strengthened by a European finesse and structure. The wine possesses a deep purple color, sensational extract and richness with abundant notes of blackcurrant, blueberry, blackberry, tobacco leaf and spice characteristics. The tannins are well-integrated and silky, but are clearly present in this full-bodied wine.
