"The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Meleagris Gallopavo Vineyard doesn’t disappoint and is another tour de force from winemaker Christopher Tynan. Reminding me of the 2013, although with slightly more freshness, it offers a wild perfume of bloody blueberries, lavender, olive tapenade, and gamy notes. Rich, powerful, and full-bodied, it has building tannins, a layered, multi-dimensional texture, nicely integrated acidity, and a great, great finish. It needs 5-7 years of bottle age, but it’s a magical wine in the making."
