2014 LETO “EXCEPTIONAL SELECTION” CABERNET SAUVIGNON

$150.00

Have you ever tasted a “reserve level” wine from a given winery and thought that it was very similar to the winery’s standard offering? Me too, but this wine is the polar opposite of that scenario… Leto only produces their Exceptional Selection when the wine is “unusually excellent” and dramatically differs from their other bottling of Cabernet. This wine is deeper, richer and more powerful and fulfills every desire that one would have in an upper echelon Cabernet Sauvignon. The Exceptional Selection comes from a micro-block of 1/2 century old vines in the heart of St Helena. The vineyard has been farmed by the same family for over 100 years…

2014 LETO “EXCEPTIONAL SELECTION” CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Tasting Notes, “It always amazes me when a wine can be both deep and brooding, yet light on its feet, without being heavy or overly sweet on the palate. The depth on the nose starts immediately with fresh crushed blackberries, exotic black currants, toasty oak, pipe tobacco, a hint of fresh green herbs and spring flowers. The deep palate begins with sweet black raspberries and ripe black plum, followed by secondary characteristics that include cocoa dusted chocolate, combined with sweet fruit tannins that perfectly balance the fruit. Absolutely stunning to drink now, but this will gorgeous for a decade or more to come.” 97 Points, Kevin M. Vogt, Master Sommelier

Brad Warner, owner and winemaker has been making wine for over a 1/2 century, and it shows in this classically styled, deep and hauntingly penetrating wine. A mere 3 barrels of Exceptional Selection were produced and after developing for 24 months in oak, the wine is marked by hauntingly intense aromas, intertwined with pressed blackberries, black expresso beans, vivid floral and Baker’s chocolate.
