Opens with expressive aromas of plum, boysenberry, red currant, caramel and toasted oak. Broad, chewy textures deliver layered impressions of blueberry, cherry, cassis and violet with undercurrents of graphite, sage, eucalyptus and vanilla bean. Fresh acidity and fine tannins carry into a long, expansive finish. A wonderfully integrated and complex Cabernet Sauvignon.

FOOD PAIRING

The rich yet lively character of the Cabernet Sauvignon makes a great match for lamb chops, Portobello mushrooms, aged cheddar cheese and filet mignon with black olive sauce.

After fermentation, the lots were racked to an equal combination French and American oak barrels, where they aged for 19 months prior to blending and bottling. Small lots of estate-grown Merlot, Malbec and Petite Sirah were incorporated into the final blend for enhanced color, mouthfeel and flavor dimension. VARIETAL COMPOSITION: Cabernet Sauvignon 85%, Merlot 8%, Malbec 5%, Petite Sirah 2%.
