All Cabernet Sauvignon from the noted To Kalon Vineyard, the wine was aged in small French oak barrels and then to bottling with minimum handling. It has a very deep black-ruby color, lovely forward blackberry and toasted oak nose with anise back notes. The flavors are bright and dense, with layered fruit, big tannins, mocha and anise accents. The wine finishes with 15.2% alcohol, leaving some heat in the aftertaste and some question about where it would fit in a dinner menu.
