Checkerboard Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Kings Row 2013

100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Aurora Vineyard, 1200 feet/365m up on volcanic soils just north of St. Helena, west side. Graceful, powerful, and delicate all at once: cassis, dried cherry, pomegranate, Asian spices, mocha, and vanilla bean with pipe tobacco and walnut on the long, smooth finish. Delicious now, this will age gracefully for many years.
