Purlieu Napa Cabernet Sauvignon - 2016 (750ml) 1995 and sweet currant fruitDeep garnet purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon gives up exuberant notions of blackcurrant pastilles, blackberry compote and stewed red plums with touches of kirsch, potpourri, fragrant earth and cigar box. Full bodied and opulently fruited in the mouth, the powerful flavors are well framed by firm, ripe tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy. Wine Advocate 95 points
