WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This is a refined, intentionally blended Cabernet Sauvignon. Bright red andblack cherry aromas are framed by blue fruits, vanilla, and hints of cedar andcola. It is full-bodied, with a full, round entry and concentrated mid-palate.Graceful layers of mocha, graphite and dark plums are supported by fine-grained tannins. This wine is firm and balanced from start to finish.
Blend: 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec
TASTING NOTES:
Soft and supple aromas of black currants, dark chocolate, black olives, potpourri and graphite. The palate is smooth and textural, with firmly framed tannins, bright acidity and a long finish. A lovely blend of 81% cabernet sauvignon with small amounts of the other four Bordeaux varieties. Drink or hold.
