The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Lot. 1 is Louis Martini's top Cabernet bottling. Ripe and yet also light on its feet for such a rich wine, the 2015 possesses terrific aromatic intensity that give lift as well as energy. Blueberry jam, new leather, spice, licorice, menthol and dried flowers all run through this super-expressive, resonant Cabernet Sauvignon. There is plenty to like.

This is a thick, concentrated expression of the grape that shows undeniable power and intensity. Crayon wax, cedar, black currant, black pepper and shapely tannins define its rich core. This can stand some time in the cellar; drink 2025-2030.
