culminating in a silky finish

2012 Ehlers Estate "1886" St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon Shows excellent clarity and spicyThe 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 1886 recognizes the founding date of Ehlers Estate. While this cuve may not be as sexy as the Merlot, it exhibits lush blackcurrant fruit, good purity, ripeness, suppleness and seductiveness, and should provide plenty of pleasure over the next 12+ years.
