Offers beautiful black currant fruit interwoven with notions of licorice, cedar, and tobacco leaf. Full-bodied, opulent, and fleshy, it should drink nicely for 12-15+ years.

Dark purple. Smoky black currant and candied plum on the nose, with dusty minerals adding focus. Juicy and concentrated, with powerful dark fruit flavors, velvety texture and building spiciness. Offers impressive vivacity for a wine with such depth, finishing brisk and clean.

Fleshy and ripe in style, this is a fine Cabernet, with intense blackberry, plum, toast, and spicy oak aromas/flavors. Long, moderately tannic finish.
