Gundlach-Bundschu Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 Review

This wine has that old school Cali feel. It’s deep and soulful with a good amount of oak, and has high-ish alcohol, and all of it is in harmony. The structure is excellent, with classic aromas of cassis, cracked black pepper, and tannins that are expertly woven into the body. This Cab is a welcoming wine, it draws you in ,and asks politely if you have a nice, marbled steak to grill up.
