A typical Cabernet with small amounts of other grapes, 8% Merlot & 4% Cabernet Franc, aged for 30 months in oak. Dark red with berry fruit aromas with oak and spice notes. On the palate blackberry & blueberry flavors with rich vanilla oak tones, balanced with acidity. Lingering with nice mouthfeel on fine tannins ending with toasty oak notes. Pricey. Tasting Sample.

My oh my... almost the top of my rating scale. Already drank it so tough to provide notes. Really perfectly shaped, dark red fruits with earthy spice notes.

94+ points

Excellent. Dark berries, chocolate, spice (minimal but present fruit). Medium mouthfeel (cab franc and Merlot soften the cab sauv)
