If it’s possible to have a Burgundian take on Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine accomplishes the task with finesse. It is red fruit forward and brightly acidic, but maintains Cabernet character with red currant and black cherry. Bright oak spice balances the fruit, and bold finish push keeps the flavor pumping. Winemaker Christian Roguenant continues to be an undeniable force on the Central Coast.
