the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Lotus Vineyard (containing 7% Petit Verdot) offers up a gorgeous nose of fruitcake

There is just enough reduction present to make the nose difficult to assess but the underlying fruit does appear to be fully ripe

explosive wine endowed with real personality

a decision that has paid off beautifully

Supple red currant

Joanin Becot Size:12x750ml the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon LotusNicely toasty, but integrated, with dark spice and black tea leading the way, backed by lush plum sauce, fig and raspberry fruit. The chalky spine is buried on the finish, lending length and boding well for short term cellaring. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2013 through 2020. 3,665 cases made. JM
