Louis M. Martini Cypress Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 Review
It’s $100 and worth all of it. This is a proper California Cabernet Sauvignon with smooth, dark fruit vibes, and extremely well woven tannins. The heft has fallen away and the wine has softened just enough. It’s still reducing and softening in the bottle, but it’s drinking damn fine right now. This is a steak wine, but it’s so balanced you could just cold max relax and sip this wine on its own.
