Tasted as a barrel sample and raised for 24 months in 60% new French oak, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Blue Dog is polished and decadent with cassis, blue fruit, floral perfume, sweet vanillin, and cedar. Full-bodied, with succulent, generous fruit, ripe tannins, a coating texture, and excellent length, fans of this style should have a lot to look forward to.
