Tasting notes :
A deeply concentrated wine with luscious notes of blackberry, black cherry, and ripe plum layered with notes of espresso, sassafras, dark chocolate and toasty oak. The palate is broad and the mouth feel is generous, yet the wine has a lovely streak of acidity that keeps it fresh and lively. Elegant tannins and spicy oak notes bring this Cabernet to a gracious, long lasting finish.
