Vinous:

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Rattlesnake is inky and unctuous in the glass. Blackberry jam, crème de cassis, chocolate, spice, licorice and menthol are all given a few extra notches of intensity in a decidedly rich, opulent Cabernet that will drink well pretty much right out of the gate. There is certainly plenty to like. Drink Date 2020-2035. Rating 92/100. - Antonio Galloni -   

Winery:

The 2017 Rattlesnake is opaque purple at the core with a dark purple rim. At this very young stage the nose is expressing pure cassis concentrate, black plum, ground cocoa nib and anise. Numerous spices start to emerge from the glass; clove, pepper and bright cinnamon. Every return to the glass brings a new round of descriptors. Round upon entrance the wine is very quick to the big chalky tannins at this stage. Coffee grounds, cooking chocolate and dark volcanic minerality dominate the palate. The tannins are certainly young and firm, chalky but very present, where mountain acidity comes in for balance. This is one of the biggest Rattlesnake Cabernets we have ever made, where at 18-19 years it will start to show a beautiful bottle bouquet and still have some youthful fruit.
