Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon & 4% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits, espresso, cedar and sweet notes. On the palate flavors of black raspberry, strawberry and ripe black cherry with notes of cacao, vanilla and dried herbs. Fine rich tannins, long finish ending with fruit, cacao, spice and oaky earthy mineral notes.

Jumps out of the bottle smooth and fresh and delicious. Layers of fruit and balanced nicely. Very good.

Starting to show its age. Still hanging on though.

A generous portion of snappy dark fruit coated in a soft glove of vanilla and spice box. Very primary at the moment. Tannins have softened. Can easily enjoy now and should bring pleasure past 2025, potentially benefitting from some additional age, allowing some secondary characteristics to come into play.

Surprised this was available in the luxury suite to watch another Padres loss....and out of a plastic cup too. AAA quality baseball and sub par stems and it still performed extremely well. My first exposure to Hewitt and I liked it a lot. Full bodied, extracted blackberry and clove with nice round edges.
