Ty Caton
Caton Vineyard Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Deep inky in color with a short reddish rim.
Strong nose of blackberries, cooked cherries, black plums, sweet cedar, light vanilla, licorice, tobacco, milk chocolates and spices.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, blackberries, cedar, vanilla, espresso, earth, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf, dark chocolates, light vegetables and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County. Elegant and fruit forward. Soft and smooth with a nice mouthfeel. Spicy and entertaining. Feels like a Napa Cabernet.
Rich and easy drinking right out of the bottle, and nicely balanced with nice complexity. The high alcohol is not very noticeable.
Very engaging and approachable, although still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
Much fruitier on the nose than on the palate, where more earth notes show up as it opens up.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (60% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.
15.1% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$45.
