Tasting Notes
The 2019 Block 136 Cabernet Sauvignon beautifully expresses fruit and terroir with notes of red Cherry, blackberry, and just a touch of marjoram and mint. The palate is rich with classic flavors of plum, tobacco spice, and star anise. Prominent tannins and a wonderfully balanced touch of oak leads to a long and delightful finish. An elegant cabernet with the ability to be enjoyed young while being paired with some of your favorite meals.
