The 2016 Au Sommet is gorgeous. Rich and unctuous in the glass, yet medium-bodied in structure, the 2016 is a wonderfully complete wine. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, new leather and spice infuse a Cabernet Sauvignon that is fleshy and yet delicate. Heidi Barrett has softened the tannins nicely, rendering an unusually approachable mountain Cabernet that will drink well with minimal cellaring.
