The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Cask 23 reveals more oak on the nose

Moving to the Les Quartz Cuvee

The 2015 Dauzac has a classy

with very fine tannins and a long finish

it's a terrific debut effort for this new project

Shafer, Napa Merlot Size:12x750ml The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Cask(15. 1% alcohol), Good dark red. Musky currant and milk chocolate aromas are complemented by smoky oak. Rich and truffley on the palate, with inviting sweetness to the flavors of cherry, licorice, coffee bean and fresh herbs. Doesn't have the depth of the best vintages here but this broad, chewy wine finishes with sweet tannins and very good persistence. Stephen Tanzer
