This bold Cabernet Sauvignon from Diana Snowden Seysses shows how great the grape can be (it sometimes seems to be the Royale with Cheese of wine - tasty, but usually the same anywhere in the world), 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 work. He had always remarked that the black fruit and structure of Washington Cabernet Sauvignon would be well complemented by the softer, lush, red fruit profile from California. Cross-state blending is rarely done in a quality way, but Charles is undeterred.
