Serial Paso Robles Cabernet 2021 Rated 92JS

James Suckling Review
Rated 92
The nose is deeply scented with aromas of mulberries, cedar, tobacco leaf and wild blackberries. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and integrated acidity, offering notes of plum confit, dried herbs and dark chocolate. Bold and rich, with time needed for the oak to integrate. Drinkable now, but best from 2028.
