This Cabernet Sauvignon presents with deep, dark reds and purples. Aromas are opulent with ripe blackberry, cassis, black plum, espresso as well as a subtle thread of anise. A rich, dense profile follows with flavors of dark, ripe, blackberry, black plum and dark chocolate, with a fine French oak influence. This is a deep, structured wine with excellent fine-grained tannins.
The fruit was hand-harvested in the cool morning hours and brought to the winery in half-ton bins. At the winery, the clusters were sorted using a double sorting system. First, the clusters were sorted by hand. Then the fruit ran through a small destemmer prior to the individual berries being sorted to ensure that the ideal grapes were chosen. Warm fermentation temperatures and gentle cap maceration helped achieve the desired color and structure for the wine before an extended maceration time on skins prior to final pressing. The wine was transferred directly to barrel for 18 months of maturation. Twenty-four percent of the sorted berries used in this blend were fermented in French Oak barrels to add layers of complexity to the wine. After fermentation, the wine remained in those same barrels for aging

94 Points, James Suckling – “Bright violet and red-cherry aromas lead to a very succulent and plush palate that has attractively fine and firm tannins, carrying fresh red-cherry and blackberry flavors. Fresh fruit expands handsomely on the finish.” JS 11/18
