If you like your Cab bold, full-bodied and bright, this is a wine for you. It’s rare to find a wine that’s this fully extracted that maintains solid varietal character without going over the top. Big blackberry, cassis, damp earth, toast, mild herbs and spices are present in both aroma and flavor, all singing over solid acidic structure and supple tannins. The finish has a firm grip, but remains bright and integrated. It’s delicious now, and will reward further aging. Contains 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, organically grown. A Platinum Award winner at the 2014 Sommelier Challenge.
