This tank sample of the final blend before bottling shows an abundance of ripe, juicy, almost syrupy fruit flavors, from blueberries to blackberries and cherries. It feels soft and plush, tastes warm and broad and adds chocolate and vanilla accents to all the sweet-tasting fruitiness
This velvety, opulent wine is rich in baked cherry and blackberry aromas, with dark chocolate and crème de cassis flavors. Layers of fruit and oak spices fill the palate, shaped gently by fine-grained tannins
Ripe but understated, with dark currant and plum reduction flavors that move through slowly. Laced with fresh hummus and tobacco notes, the grippy finish brings a touch of an old-school feel
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, with 6% Cabernet Franc, 5%Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. Scents of crushed blackcurrants, black cherries, and mulberries spring from the glass, leading to hints of cumin seed and black olives. The full-bodied palate is laden with bright, expressive black fruit flavors, framed by ripe grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with a skip in its step.
