Union Sacre 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon “Le Confident” Happy Canyon, Santa Barbara

Winemaker Notes: “The wine opens with bold, generous, aromas of ripe blackcurrant, fresh raspberry, baking spice and a touch of dried herb. On the palate, it feels as big, bold, rich and deep, but is even smoother and more finessed. Flavors range from dark currant, blackberry, and raspberry fruit to cured tobacco, exotic spice, and just a touch of toasty oak. Those flavors keep on pumping through a long, generous, and smooth finish with just enough fine tannin to give shape and help the wine stand up to steak or aging. Delicious now with a decant (try 30-45 minutes) and sure to improve for 7-10 years. A great value!”

Tasting Notes: Le Confident from Union Sacré offers up sweet aromas of blackberries, herbs and licorice, followed by a medium-bodied, ample and layered palate, with a sweet core of fruit, good balance and a flavorful finish. This is truly a well-priced wine!
