Checkerboard Cabernet Sauvignon Aurora 2016

Wow! The cashmere-like texture reminds us of the best Harlan and Hundred Acre releases that we’ve sampled. Intensely satisfying hints of inky dark fruit (currants, plums, blackberry) combine with opulent notes of dark chocolate and pipe tobacco. The mind-bending finish features luxuriously creamy new oak and espresso guaranteed to dazzle now (decanting recommended) through 2030. Bravo!
