Wine Advocate
Reviewed October 2019This is made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Hossfeld vineyard and was aged 30 months in French oak and an additional year in bottle. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Coliseum Block features powerful baked plums, crème de cassis and warm blueberries scents with touches of exotic spices, grilled meats, woodsmoke and sandalwood. Full-bodied and full-on seductive in the mouth, this hedonic beauty delivers bags of ripe, rich black and blue fruits, structured with firm yet velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and layered.
