Revana Terroir Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Truly superb Cabernet Sauvignon that exceeded my expectations. The wine is bursting with freshness and depth, with a graceful harmony of acidity and tannins. The nose is understated, but the undertones are intense and complex, with a delightful array of fruits, showcasing ripe figs, juicy plums, and black cherries. The tail is long and satisfying, with mild accents of bitter-sweet chocolate, anise, and toasted almonds. Overall, a truly fantastic wine that is sure to please even the most discerning palates.

The nose is a intense tapestry of bold fruit and minerals, with a delicate touch of slate. The tasting is full-bodied and complex, with a deep tactile quality that clings the palate. The accents are a masterful blend of blackberry, mull berry, and blueberry compote, with elderberries and pencil lead adding richness and nuance. The oak and vanilla bean add a smooth, silky texture, and yet the chocolate and cedar touches provide a subtle warmth. The tail is long and satisfying, with a soft dusting of leather and cocoa powder that stays on the palate. The tannins are fine and grainy, with a comforting dryness that balances the richness of the wine. Overall, this is a intricate and engaging wine that rewards careful consideration and repeated sipping. Winemaker Thomas Brown's 4/100 points under his belt with Schrader make this a notable effort. The wine will continue to evolve and mature over time, making it a top notch elite for those looking to explore the world of full-bodied reds.

Rich, full-bodied wine with a dense, polished touch that unfolds gradually over time. The accents of boysenberry, cinnamon, and currant emerge early, while the aftertaste is long and peppery, with subtle suggestions of cedar and cigar box.
