Road 13 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis Similkameen-sourced cabernet sauvignon is made in a polished, modern style that has become a trademark of Road 13. The fruit oozes ripeness with blackberry compote and dark plum that's accented by dried sagebrush, espresso, and sweet spices from aging 16 months in French oak (25% new). It's not overdone or overworked, though. It's the fruit that leads with this wine, and you could tell this is cabernet sauvignon if it was poured at the table next to yours. Medium-full bodied, it's plush and round with finely integrated, sculpted tannins that set this apart.
