Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Intense aromas of black plum, cassis and green olive with a spicy bouquet of cigar box, cinnamon and nutmeg. Powerful yet with a supple texture and plush fruit in the mouth, it shows layers of ripe red cherry, juicy berry flavors and mocha are just under the surface of young tannins. Finishes with a long, soft aftertaste.
Winemaker Notes
Exhibits power yet maintains elegance with flavors of dark cherry-berry and subtle hints of mocha. Finishes with smooth supple tannins and a lingering aftertaste. Dark red fruit peek through a tight tannic structure. Lay down for a few years to reveal softer tanins and more sumptuous fruit.
Food Pairing Notes
This food-friendly Cabernet pairs well with heartier dishes such as prime rib, bison burgers, or chicken with wild mushrooms.
Other Notes
Meant for cellaring up to 15 years, possible up to 25 in this 3 Liter format.
