Moone Tsai Cor Leonis Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, 750ml

Country: USA

Grape Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Note:
Dark ruby red verging on opacity. At first whiff, black fruits predominate, albeit with gentle nods to cassis, sandalwood, and shaved cedar. While the wine is fresh and forward, it retains an underlying energy that vibrates from its resolute attack onward.

Layered, lush and demonstrative, the palate cuts loose with throaty chords of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, spice, and exotic dark chocolate (75%+ Madagascar Criollo!).

This wine finishes long with a notable flourish worthy of an exuberant encore. Deep, dark, and intriguing, one cannot help but think of the iconic Rock & Roll Hall of Fame chanteuse, Joan Jett, who during her heyday as frontwoman for The Black Hearts, captured all our hearts in sweet surrender.
