This is an impressive effort and a wine that will warm your palate and your soul on a chilly winter evening (preferably served with a grilled steak). The 2013 Coniale is a pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that opens to an inky dark and impenetrable appearance. This is a seductive wine with an irresistible array of plump cherry and super ripe blackberry flavors. It is structured and determined, but the 2013 vintage also delivers a soothing sense of balance, power and elegance. Give the wine another year or two of bottle aging.
