2014 | Howard Park Wines | Scotsdale Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep crimson in hue, complex aromas of blackberries, rose petals, truffle, herbs, graphite and vanilla greet the nose. Supple and concentrated sweet berries with an overlay of talc fine tannin. The sweetness and warmth of oak integrates well with the mineral acidity to provide a linear structure to the pliable sweet core.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2014 Scotsdale Cabernet Sauvignon boasts classy aromas of pencil shavings and cassis on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate with ample structure for aging but plenty of appeal now. Fine-grained tannins frame the purple fruit flavors, extending through a silky, softly dusty finish.

• James Suckling: A more earthy and cooler-climate cabernet with blue fruits, floras in the violet zone, licorice and attractive spicy oak. The palate delivers handy mid-palate depth with ripe, even tannins and a neat dark cherry-pip, plum-stone finish.
