After sitting on our wine rack for a couple of years, this wine has really evolved into something special. This is a Bordeaux blend primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon from the very young vines at the estate. It is young, and juicy, plush with big dark cassis fruit. The tannins and the acidity are present but very much balance the fruit.
