A stunningly successful Cabernet Sauvignon made from grapes grown in a high elevation vineyard, this wine offers succulent notes of blackberry and raspberry fruit gracefully balanced by subtle oak (the wine was aged 12 months in French oak). The well integrated alcohol level (13.8) is less than one might suspect given this Cabernet’s power. I would bet this is a Cab that, if kept in excellent conditions, might age beautifully for another few years.
