Mountainside Cabernet Sauvignon

Makes me think of Denis Malbec

Delicious well balanced Cab

Pretty darn good Cabernet with a nice acidity that can be lacking in 2012s. Great balance, cherry and cola, no trace of new oak, and very, very tasty.

Great pedigree. . From fruit too winemaking team . This is going to be a winner with a little more age.

498 cases bottled 3/26/2019.

Sampled 3/2018 at ProWein (Germany).

Sorry I can't provide unbiased ratings here but (together with Denis Malbec) I was involved in the making and professional integrity just prevents me from tooting our/my own horns.

More so I had a certain reason for opening these tonight....
