Woodward Canyon Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Professional Ratings

• 94 Jeb Dunnuck
  A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and the balance Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Artist Series reveals a deeper ruby/purple color as well as loads of black fruits, tobacco leaf, cured meats, and bouquet garni notes. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, has background oak, and terrific overall balance. Give bottles 3-4 years and it will keep for 15-20+ years.
• 93 James Suckling
  Tar and dark berry aromas with hints of dark chocolate. Full body, round and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. A bigger, more fruit-forward style. Drink or hold.
• 92 Decanter

  Great intensity of blackcurrant leaves, mint, black cherries and cigar box. Well integrated, medium tannin with a long finish.

• 91 Wine Enthusiast
  This wine is a blend of fruit from Woodward Canyon Estate, Champoux, Sagemoor and Spring Creek vineyards. Despite seeing just 50% new oak, aromas of baking spice and vanilla are at the fore at present, in front of notes of herb and cherry. The palate brings a suave feel, with a lovely sense of texture, dipping in the middle before coming back together. The oak influence is intense right now. Give it time to settle in. Best after 2023.
