2016 Joseph's Cabernet Sauvignon
90 Points Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Winemaker’s Notes: 2016 was another excellent growing season for the Langman Estate Winery area of the Sierra Foothills in California. It was a very long, dry summer with excellent diurnal temperature changes that allowed the fruit to mature very evenly over the 7+ month growing season that extended harvest into October. This is a vintage of special wines.
The Wine! Our first estate Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a full-bodied, long finishing wine with exquisite fine tannins. A beautiful bouquet of violet, caramelized pomegranate and dark cherry proceeds a lush, well balanced palate of blackberry pie, caramel and dark cocoa. Passion!
