Charles & Charles Post No. 35 Cabernet-Syrah 2018

Description

Beautiful, bold, true – and named for the historic Post No.35 building – this blend embodies traits we truly admire. This wine is expressive and original, bringing together the structure and dense black currant flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon and the sumptuous dark fruit and spice of while cluster Syrah. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Syrah.

Aromas of cocoa, coffee, tobacco, sweet black cherry, licorice, underbrush, gravel, and loads of cassis. It’s an intense dark blue/purple in color with tremendous purity, depth, and focus. Tannins are present giving firm structure, yet the wine is still quite soft.

89 Points – Wine Enthusiast There’s a lot to like in this wine’s plum, tar, orange rind and raspberry aromas. The palate has a bright freshness, with enough tannic heft to give drinking pleasure over the next few years. It’s an enjoyable mouthful of a wine. Give it a short decant. Best Buy.
