Niebaum-Pennino Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

From the winery:

Tasting Notes

Displaying its deep ruby color, this wine leads with plum-blueberry compote with notes of Sencha tea and vanilla. The wine evolves gradually in the glass to reveal subtle hints of tobacco leaf. Introduction to the palate is dynamic, inviting the exploration of ripe, round tannins that create a structure that is generous yet balanced in design. The wine concludes with a very fresh, long, and aromatic finish.

Vintage Notes

A welcomed rainfall just before bloom set the stage for excellent fruit set for a small 2020 crop. Strong canopy growth offered the fruit protection from the short spells of summer heat as the season progressed toward an early and brief harvest. All fruit was harvested by hand in just under two weeks, commencing September 12th and ending on September 25th.
