Ravel & Stitch 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, Central Coast
Scents
of blackberry pie and saddle
leather lead to a plush palate
of dark chocolate and plum
liqueur in this distinguished
blend (77% Cabernet
Sauvignon, 12% Petite Sirah,
4% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot,
and 3% Malbec), which features grapes from
premier vineyards in the growing regions of
California’s Central Coast. The mid-palate
shows notes of pie crust, Luxardo cherry,
and a hint of white pepper. After the grapes
aged separately, the lots were integrated into
a blend that aged an additional 18 months in
new French and neutral American oak. 92
