A complex bouquet of rich, caramelized cherry highlights hints of tobacco, and dark floral notes of violet and cherry blossom. Mouth-watering, savory herbs of sage and thyme pervade the nose. Generous amounts of dark fruit are evident from the first approach, however, what is remarkable about this vintage is its dark and brooding flavor on the palate, like a black forest cherry cake drizzled with rich cocoa. Subtle aromatics of roasted almond, black currant and pepper upfront leads to a silky, caramel finish. Thick and luscious, this year’s cabernet will not disappoint.
