Gundlach-Bundschu Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 Review
What an awesome American wine. It’s rich and bold, with great tannin structure framing the body. It smells like blackberries and balsamic, with a savory waft of white pepper and steak tartare. The mouthfeel is wonderful, with a balanced weight on the palate. Man, this wine is a joy to drink. This bottle deserves a good, marbled cut.
