This bold Cabernet Sauvignon from Diana Snowden Seysses shows how great the grape can be, with cassis, dark cherry, and baking spice aromas while keeping the body, acidity, and tannin in balance.
This promising first bottling has a fragrant nose, with cassis, cherry, and a slight tobbaco edge on the palate, and fine tannins balanced by a lively acidity.
Bieler Family Born to Run is the culmination of Charles’ last 20 years – piecing together his origin story and tradition-bending blend of two states where he’s been producing wine for a decade-plus each. He had always remarked that the black fruit and structure of Washington Cabernet Sauvignon would be well complimented by the softer, lush, red fruit profile from California. Cross-state blending is rarely done in a quality way, but Charles is un-deterred.
