The fourth vintage of this powerhouse wine continues the quality string established over the prior two vintages. It’s a new-school Cabernet, with forward berry fruit, bright oak spice, fennel and cocoa character on the nose and in the mouth, supple tannic structure and a zesty acidity that keeps the berries pumping flavor through the extended finish. It’s a great out-of-the-ordinary gift for a special wine aficionado in your life, and it continues to come in one of the classiest bottles in the business. Kudos once again to winemaker Cary Gott and the team at Calla Lily. Contains 4% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec.
