Simi Cabernet Sauvignon, 2018 Gekkeikan culminating in a vanilla-caramel finishYEAR: 2018 APPELLATION: Sonoma County CLASS: Red Wine SIZE: 750mL STRENGTH: 13. 5% A. B. V. TASTING NOTES: Lifted aromas of juniper and subtle violet add generosity, layers, and aromatic complexity to this wine. Dark fruit dominates the entry with jammy black cherry and dark plum followed by black licorice, cocoa, and toasty oak with a spicy, lifted mid palate. A bit of peppery cassis leads the finish with some dried herb notes and grippy tannins.
