Tasting Notes:

Elegant, weighty, and subtle, this Cabernet combines the best of old world and new world styles to deliver a nose that is complex, earthy, and still fruit driven. Integrated oak gives the wine depth and gravitas while preserving the range of fruit that reaches to red, black, and blue. There is a hint of vanilla and the soft tannins provide a springboard for a finish that is both soft and lingering.
