Tasting Notes
This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from one of our premier Cabernet blocks on the property. A wine that exudes lively aromas of dark cherry, blackberries, and a hint of mint chocolate. The palate is smooth with silky and velvety tannins that lead to a long finish with notes of espresso, fresh herbs, figs, and ripe boysenberries. A balanced yet approachable wine, this Cabernet has the strength and potential to age for years to come.
