Captivating aromatics of black currant, anise, lavender, spice and cigar box accompany a texture that is truly decadent. This is one of the rare wines that achieves the concentration and power that you come to expect from the Cabernet grape, while retaining the balance and freshness that only the very best bottlings can achieve. Our long barrel aging and a year of bottle age prior to release ensures this wine is ready to drink now; however, those with patience will be rewarded for the next 25+ years.
