Deep garnet-purple colored, the Cardinale 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon (containing 10% Merlot) gives beautiful red, black and blue fruit notes with touches of dried herbs, spice cake and unsmoked cigars, plus a waft of cedar.

Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm structure with plenty of gregarious mid-palate fruit, finishing with a lingering herbal lift. This seductive blockbuster is temptingly drinkable now and it should age gracefully over 15-20 years. 2,579 cases produced.

The Cardinale 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark, sensual, and totally beguiling. Voluptuous fruit and soft, racy contours make a strong opening statement. The dark cherry, mocha, smoke, plum, spice and new leather flavors are all amped up in a seamless, alluring Cardinale that is going to be nearly impossible to resist in its youth. There is so much to like here.

The aim of Cardinale is to be accessible, though not mature, on release, as well as having the capacity to age, and this 2015 succeeds admirably. There’s dense blackberry fruit on the nose, which has power and ripeness without being jammy or overbearing.

The mostly new oak is evident on the nose, and the palate, but it’s sumptuous and integrated. Plump and full-bodied, the wine is understandably youthful and quite grippy, but it’s not too extracted, and the long finish is juicy and vigorous.

A ripe, juicy, seemingly forward style, with mouth-filling plum and blackberry compote notes before. The back end delivers gutsy black licorice, chocolate, and roasted apple wood flavors. That will need some time in the cellar to integrate fully. Has the energy to pull everything together.

Ripe plum nose; dense and dark with a velvety texture and complex flavors of spice, chocolate, and black cherry. Intense but always refined and elegant, this is yet another Chris Carpenter masterpiece.
