The 2016 Lotus displays aromas of black cherry, berry compote, wet stone, and wet earth. The wine is full bodied with a creamy texture. It captures the essence of Lotus Vineyard in its firm structure and concentration while retaining vibrancy and balance. Classic black fruits and warm spice flavors coat the palate mingling with hints of dried herbs and a firm structured finish. Enjoy 2020 through 2038 and beyond.

Wine Advocate Review:
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Lotus Vineyard is made up of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon (clones 4 and 15) and 3% Petit Verdot. It fermented 46% in oak tanks, 38% in concrete and 16% in barrels. It was on the skins for 28 to 43 days and aged in French oak barrels for 27 months. Deep garnet-purple in color, it is a little shy to begin, before opening up with provocative lilacs, cinnamon stick, cloves and underbrush over a core of blackcurrant cordial, preserved plums and Black Forest cake plus a waft of cast-iron pan. Full-bodied, the palate is an exercise in grace, with wonderfully harmonious perfumed black fruit framed by very fine-grained tannins and bags of freshness, finishing very long.
