2021 Obsidian Ridge Half Mile Cabernet Sauvignon [WE94]

"This flavor-packed but well-balanced wine offers ripe fruit, rich tannins and some spicy complexity, all in well-measured doses, for a seamless expression of the variety. While full in feel, it feels smooth and creamy. Best through 2030. Cellar Selection." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Half Mile is the darkest and richest wine we make from Obsidian Ridge Vineyard. The 2017 vintage is no exception; it is perhaps even darker and more brooding than usual. Shy and reserved when first opened, it should be decanted for best results. You'll be rewarded with aromas of fresh blackberries, dried cherries, licorice and a gentle pine forest lift. Flavors of cocoa powder, espresso and blackberries fit neatly within the taut tannic structure that teeters on a balanced edge. The 2017 has an earthy element, and an endurance that may prove it to be the longest-lived vintage of Half Mile."
