If you are a Cabernet hunter, you will want to set your sights on a bottle or more of this wine. It is a blend of the subregion’s top sites, including luminaries like Morisoli, Georges III and Stagecoach in addition to the estate fruit. In addition to deep varietal character, note of forest floor and dark chocolate add depth and richness throughout. You can expect to pay up to three times this amount for wines of similar character, so this makes for a great bargain at its quality level.
