Dana Estates, Lotus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2012 the sauvage and crushed herbDeep garnet colored, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Lotus Vineyard (containing 7% Petit Verdot) offers up a gorgeous nose of fruitcake, potpourri and dried herbs over a core of crme de cassis, blueberry compote and raspberry tart. Medium to full bodied, finely structured and with great freshness and approachability, it gives a wonderful core of muscular fruit and a long, mineral laced finish.
