This excellent wine gets off to a great start with a lightly, pleasantly leafy aromatic note (one that is entirely appropriate to Cabernet Sauvignon) and a slight herbal edge to the dark berry fruit. Oak is subtle in impression, allowing the terrific fruit to shine and also permitting the other accent notes to persist through the series of sensory impressions leading to a long, symmetrical finish. Platinum Award winner at the 2015 San Diego International Wine Competition.
