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 – 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.
