TASTING NOTES:
This is a regal cabernet with a very buttoned-down feel to the nose and palate. Well-judged fruit ripeness underpins fresh blackcurrant and plum aromas and flavors, as well as handsomely long, sturdy tannins. Drink or hold.
-James Suckling, 93 pts.
This wine is 100% varietal. Aromas of dark roasted coffee, dried herb, exotic spice and plum lead to ripe, velvety fruit and barrel flavors with firm tannins backing it up. Dark chocolate notes linger on the finish. Yum. Best after 2025 with a long life beyond that

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
A sophisticated wine with an impressive balance of intensity and elegance that offers generous aromas of dried rosemary, black cherries and French oak nuances. Soft and rich on the palate, yet firmly structured, the wine's dark fruit flavors glide smoothly over refined tannins that provide a long and pleasurable finish.
