Wine Reviews

Ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, toasted walnuts, cedar, mocha and spices. Medium- to full-bodied, polished and sleek, with fine, textural tannins. Lengthy and linear. Really smooth and silky.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Suscol Springs is 98% Cabernet Sauvignon with 2% Merlot, all of which spent 22 months in 54% new French oak. It’s probably the biggest, softest wine of the trio and has a ripe, opulent style in its plum, blueberry, chocolate, iron, and spicy wood-driven aromas and flavors. It has beautiful purity, full-bodied richness, sweet tannins, and a great finish. Drink this beauty any time over the coming 15 years or so.

A luscious mouthfeel and saturated black-fruit flavors give this wine a smooth, deep expression. Aged in 70% new barrels, it’s loaded with blueberries, black cherries and dark chocolate that weave through soft, silky tannins.

Lots of plums, darker cherries, currants, tobacco, and graphite-like notes emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Suscol Springs, a gorgeously complex, medium to full-bodied, finesse-driven effort. A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged in 54% new oak, it has some background spicy wood notes, remarkable purity, and great tannins.

Blackberries and blackcurrants with some herbs, lemon and violets. Full-bodied with round tannins and a juicy finish. Beautiful fruit with savoriness and softness. Goes on for minutes.
