Bledsoe Family Winery Bledsoe Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 750ml

Deeply structured yet polished, with expressive flavors of blackberry and cherry highlighted by herbs de Provence and flint tones as this builds toward refined yet broad-shouldered tannins. Drink now through 2035.

A boysenberry aroma that comes across as ripe and sweet is entangled with notes of violets and graphite. Acidity that makes the mouth water combines with silky tannins to carry flavors like blackberry pie, lemon zest, and a hint of cedar across the exceptionally long finish. This wine's mouthfeel is more about elegance than brawn. I'd love to sip this wine with braised brisket and a side of cornbread.

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon slowly evolves with nuances of gravel dust and dried violets, giving way to citrus-inflected blackberries. It's savory in style with cooling acidity and a soothingly round feel as herbal tones resonate over a wave of dark red fruits. This wine tapers off with a pleasantly bitter tinge yet remains fresh, leaving a tart wild berry twang.

Full-bodied and refined, with rich and detailed black cherry flavors that are highlighted by espresso, savory herb and spice notes that finish with fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2035. 2,591 cases made.
