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.
