Cabernet Sauvignon

Hyde Vineyard,
Carneros, Napa Valley

This Cabernet offers layers of concentrated fruit with remarkable depth and purity of flavor. The nose is big and forward with tremendous intensity riding on a powerful backbone of black-cherries, chocolate, herbaceous, cassis-scented fruit amid opulent spiciness and vanilla from oak. Superbly rich and velvety on the palate, this finely-balanced, supple, and complex wine complements a wide assortment of full-flavored pastas, meats and cheese dishes.
