2016 Miro Cellars Silverwood Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

The moderate temperature changes on top of Pine Mountain, due to the terroir and diurnal shifts, resulting in wines with massive—but soft—tannins. The ample aromas of wild blue and blackberries are layered over aromas that hint of minerals and rocks. Aging this wine in 100% French oak, 45% of which were brand new barrels, brings in toasty, smoky aromas with a touch of cinnamon, dark chocolate, and dusty cocoa. The mouthfeel is of a big wine with significant, but soft, tannins, finishing long and balanced overall. The wine is definitely young at the time of these notes. The aging potential should be very good— it can easily age for 10 or more years.
