Tasting Notes

The inky hues are immediately telling of the powerful Cabernet in the glass. Softened by a small addition of Merlot and Petit Verdot, this wine is immediately gratifying and enjoyable. The effusive nose shows aromas of powdery white flower, black cherry, cassis, flower stems, bittersweet chocolate, and crushed stones. On the palate, the silky entry opens to a plush, round, polished mid-palate and an effortlessly long finish. The back palate is fine-grained with exquisitely balanced alcohol-to-fruit weight and closes with subtle, cleansing acidity.
