...aromas and flavors of blackcurrants, toasted bread, dried violets, baking spices, and loamy earth. These carry to a pure, full-bodied, multi-dimensional Cabernet that’s flawlessly balanced, has ripe yet certainly present tannins, a notable sense of minerality, and a great, great finish.
Crushed rocks, graphite, rose petal, mint and espresso complement a core of inky red/purplish berry fruit.
...gregarious scents of kirsch, black raspberries, cassis and cedar chest, plus nuances of lavender, wild sage and tilled soil. The full-bodied palate is packed with taut, muscular black fruit with a firm backbone of grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with a lively herbal lift.
Rich, showing a forward-styled core of warm plum sauce and cassis, with toasted vanilla and tobacco notes that flow nicely through the finish.
