TASTING NOTES
The 2016 Sky Devil Cabernet Sauvignon is truly a standout inaugural release. It offers an aromatic nose of black currant and sandalwood, a muscular mid-body with blackberry undertone and effusive tannins, and an impressively long and complex finish. This wine evolves as it opens and softens over a 2-3 hour period of enjoyment. Pair with full-flavored dishes. Good to drink now; ages beautifully for 25 or more years.
