Score 96/100 · Drink 2019-2034, Jeb Dunnuck, Jan 2019

Made by Laura Diaz (formerly at Lokoya) and coming mostly from valley floor fruit, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Pleinair is a sexy, flamboyant beauty that boasts a deep purple color, a huge nose of cassis and blueberry fruits, a complex floral character, full body, and a pure, elegant, yet pleasure-bent style that’s already a joy to drink.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Pleinair is an attractive, mid-weight wine. Bright red cherry fruit and floral overtones grace this open-knit, easygoing Cabernet Sauvignon. Vineyard sources are Stagecoach, Cardinale, Bosche, Red Hen, Wurtelle and Yverdon. Drink it over the next few years.
