The biggest beast of the line up of a 2014 horizontal of Heidi's wines I recently tried. I really would like to see this with a lot of time. WAY too young here and tannins that would rip your face off. There's an underlying depth, but it's hidden.

Noticeably better resolved tannins since my last encounter with this.

08' Au Sommet Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the inaugural vintage from the old Paul Hobbs vineyards. Tobacco, Black cherry, chocolate raspberry , forest floor. Drinking window 7/10 great years in it. Crowd Pleaser! My wife loves it.

Have a few cases as overpaid when released! 😣 but the 08 maiden vintage was still the best...they tried to take on SE but never got traction. Layers with lots of glycerine...structured and deep fruit. Hope it develops well as I can't sell it!

Simplicity perfected. Big cab with dry tannins and full body.
