Tasting Note

Ripe mouthful of dark cherry and plum unfolds on the palate, framed by fine-grained tannins and a subtle touch of spicy oak. The bouquet is classic and expressive, brimming with black fruits, blueberry, and hints of dark chocolate. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot lend depth and elegance, enhancing the wine's rich berry character and lively acidity. Superb with hearty stews, wild mushrooms, and grilled meats, this wine is delightful now yet promises to evolve gracefully over the next five to seven years.

Its full-bodied palate harmoniously blends firm tannins with a vibrant acidity, culminating in an impressive, lengthy finish. Best paired with succulent red meats, hearty stews, or sharp cheeses, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a captivating exhibition of the reputable Californian viticulture.
