Deep red in color with strong berry aroma. This wine is full bodied with a big mouth feel. Berry flavors are in the background keeping this cab not overly fruity or berry intense. Tannins from oak aging are ever present and spicy.
Vitner’s notes: “Beautiful deep red rose petal color with very concentrated berry aromas and traces of cocoa and vanilla. Silky palate with blackberry fruit and chewy tannins. Full bodied structure of both elegance and depth. A round and graceful Cabernet Sauvignon with sweet vanilla oak and wood spice.”
