title: Tanner DaFoe 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley)
description: This winery is approaching cult status, and for good reason. Rather than compete with over-extracted competitors, this bottling shows a medium richness that pairs black plum and dark chocolate with light mint and dried herbs. Oregano, thyme, sage, bay leaf and black pepper power the palate, where boysenberry fruit and pencil lead complete the fresh but layered experience.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
