Dumas Station

Textbook (Jonathan & Susan Pey)

"Réserve du Dumas" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Tannins have really softened up. Fruit is very ripe - blackberry, red cherry. Raisin, fig, plum. Seems to me to be meeting its end of drinking window. Still quite delicious. — 4 months ago

One of the pleasures of your reviews is the short but always interesting history of the vineyard, company or person behind the wine and bottle.
