"The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Happy Canyon Vineyard RSW is scented of blackcurrant, cigar box, thyme and graphite, and it gains in intensity and floral character as it opens in the glass. The full-bodied palate has a concentrated core of perfumed fruit framed by ripe tannins and surprising freshness, and it has a long, layered finish. It's inherently powerful and will benefit from 3-5 years in bottle."
