Tasting notes :
Ripe Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of ripe black fruit. The Merlot and Syrah in the blend bring great texture and weight. Notes of warm baking spices envelope the fruit adding depth and complexity. The voluminous fruit carries through in the mouth. Powdery tannins give structure to the wine while maintaining an elegant, balanced mouth feel. This wine shows great expression of the terroir of the Horse Heaven Hills.
