2013 Lancaster Estate Cabernet SauvignonAlexander Valley more |
8/10/2021 - ScottHaller Likes this wine: 93 pointsmuch better - this bottle showing depth and complexity. Deep dark fruits with a bit of leather and spice. Right in the sweet spot of its drinking window, but will probably hold for another year or two - or more. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |
