F. Stephen Millier Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon California 2014

I am so glad I purchased two bottles of this but I should have gotten a case.  I decanted it for about an hour or so before drinking it. It has a beautiful fragrance of luscious fruits - blackberries and black cherries, a touch of oak but a flowery oak. Its color is rich and dark with lovely purple bubbles, but with a wonderful medium body.  Now the taste is where it gets very interestingly complex. Yum. Ok I'll explain. It is so smooth the flavor of dark plums and blackberries exploded onto the palate and midway the black cherry flavor blended in and slowed to an end with a hint of dark chocolate and a touch of oaky spice leaving a very smooth finish.  I did not eat with this wine and that makes it higher on my list as a wonderful libation to relax and end the night with. I want more, more than the bottle I put up to age. I doubt it will make it to age, this wine is wonderful as it is right now. This is a most excellent wine. Thank you and kudos!

Origin: Sierra Foothills, California, USA
