WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Our 2021 estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon provides a beautiful complexity, elegance and structure we have come to expect from our mountain fruit. Aromas of dark black fruit and bramble highlight the Cabernet Sauvignon at the heart of the wine. We integrate a touch of Malbec to provide mouth filling notes of cassis and boysenberry, and to develop a softness in the tannins, making this a wonderfully round wine. It has a perfectly balanced structure with well-integrated toasted oak that offers subtle notes of cocoa on the lengthy, pleasing finish.
90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Malbec, 1% Petit Verdot
TASTING NOTES:
Toasty, charred and graphite aromas quickly give way to more generous, concentrated dark chocolate, baked blackberries and baking spices. Its 9% malbec and 1% petit verdot add a touch of complexity. Firm in texture, richly tannic but almost drinkable now, it was aged in 80% new French oak. Best from 2028.
