Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Cabernet Sauvignon, deep Ruby color with aromas of blue/black fruits. The palate shows dark berries and cherries, somewhat complex with the presence of firm ripe tannins. The wine is aged in French oak (50% new) for 16 months. The finish shows cinnamon spice and tobacco notes ending with smoky oak. This full bodied wine needs a little more time to soften.

Dense and Rich without awkward jamminess. A complex treat.

Tannic and viscous at first, but after a couple hours in bottle, the fruit drys down nicely and reveals a savory character. Black cherry, earl gray tea, dry herbs, integrated oak, and some honest grip on the finish.

True to the velvety style of FC Cabs, with greater concentration.

Still standing. Let it decant for a bit. Dried red fruit, still some tannins, but high alcohol but glad we waited on this one.
