title: Kathryn Kennedy 2012 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Cruz Mountains)
description: A thoroughly elegant, serious and yet immensely enjoyable wine that stays lively many days after opening, this bottling from a regional icon shows dried violets, dried strawberry, crushed pepper and touches of leather and soy on the wondrous nose. Lithe black plum and elderberry fruits ride along a tight but forgiving tannic structure, with support from crushed gravel, asphalt, potpourri, sandalwood and cedar flavors.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Estate
