2015 Somnium Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2015 Somnium Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of magnificent maturity, profound complexity, and the kind of fully realized Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon grandeur that can only emerge from a truly exceptional vintage with over a decade of graceful bottle evolution behind it. The 2015 California growing season — one of the finest and most heralded of the modern era, producing red wines of extraordinary concentration, natural aromatic completeness, and the structural integrity for extraordinary longevity — gave the Somnium Estate the ideal foundation for a Cabernet of genuine historic significance. Now over ten years from vintage, this wine is at the very peak of its magnificent powers: aromas of dried black cherry, cassis, cedarwood, dark tobacco leaf, leather, dried herbs, dark chocolate, and a beautifully complex earthy mineral depth of profound richness and development lead to a full-bodied, silky, and completely integrated palate where tannins have resolved to the finest silk and every component speaks in perfect, harmonious unison, culminating in a finish of almost boundless length and deeply satisfying complexity.
