Star Lane Astral 2014

Purity is a wonderful word to describe 2014 wines. And 2014 Astral is a pure example of own-rooted Cabernet aromatic expression. It expresses a lovely dark fruit core, but what makes it seductive seems to be all the added layers of spice and herb integrated with that core of ripe fruit. The "drive" mentioned above along with the substance often provided by these Cabernet Sauvignon blocks converge to produce what is a wonderful example of "sensual tension."
