A typical Cabernet with small amounts of other grapes, 8% Merlot & 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 vanilla oak tones, ok balanced with acidity. Medium+ with grippy fine tannins ending with toasty oak notes. Pricey, nothing special for 80 bucks. Tasting Sample.
