2012 Cimarossa "Rive di Cimarossa Vineyard" Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

A beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon from high on Howell Mountain, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Rive di Cimarossa offers up lots of white chocolate, dense mulberry and blackberry fruit with underlying floral and wet gravelly notes. It is full-bodied, rich, nicely textured, pure and has the 2012 vintage's opulence and silky tannins. Drink over the next 10-15 years. I believe well-known wine consultant Mia Klein is behind this effort. (RP)
