One-dimensional but very well made Cabernet Sauvignon. Smooth and elegant with tannins that are perfectly smooth and enjoyable in the finish. A little boring and unsurprising but I cannot complain about the high quality, smooth palette, and fragrant nose on this polished Cabernet Sauvignon. Expensive at $95 but worth its price.

JL Purlieu tasting 6/16/17. ABV 15.3%. Pritchard Hill. $148. #4. Nose that's also velvety and laced with minty earthy chocolate notes. Palate that's softer yet firm and again minty spicy notes that carries through to long finish. Very expressive and more open than last one. Highest elevation of lineup 1200 ft
