Louis M. Martini Louis Martini The Gryphon Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 750ml

So lush, broad, luxurious and flavorful, this red is laden with black cherries, baked blueberries and baking spices on a velvety, tannic frame. Gorgeous, concentrated, flavors of spearmint, cassis and cocoa expand on the palate and linger in the finish.

A textbook '23, this hums with lovely energy as juicy boysenberry and mulberry fruit shimmers along, flecked liberally with iris, violet and rose hip accents through the gently roasted finish. Best from 2027 through 2040.

Blueberries, cassis and vanilla mark the nose, while the medium - to full bodied palate is framed by fine-grained tannins, with a long, silky finish.

This 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is aromatic and punchy, both of which make it quite appealing in the early going. Blackberry, cloves, licorice, and espresso build nicely in the glass. This deceptively medium-bodied wine has a lot to offer. Dollops of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Merlot round out the blend. Give the tannins a year or two to soften.
