Argot’s access to great vineyards is evident in this delicious Cabernet. It is notably rich and youthfully zesty to the nose, where black cherry, pomegranate syrup, boysenberry, cassis and dry dark rose scents are accented by others of baking spice and graphite. It proves both weighty and powerful on the palate, yet never loses its youthful brightness, as deep fruit flavors fan-out to mirror the nose. The finish is rich and persistent despite firming tannic grip and deepening mineral and savory spice. Expect five years of steady improvement, but don’t be afraid to serve it now with Holiday Prime Rib. 350 cases produced.
