This deep, ruby red Cabernet has the depth and complexity found in our estate Cabernet with very different characteristics overall. The nose opens with an incredible toasty oak influence. Enjoy notes of luscious blackberry, dark cherry, blueberry preserves, and dried cranberry, black tea, violets, eucalyptus-menthol, tobacco, and wet stone. On the palate, raspberry cola, dark currant, red fruit, vanilla, and leather are most notable. Notes of fennel and anise steal the finish, which lingers just long enough. The acidity is excellent and the tannins are like a velvet glove: gripping, but soft and smooth. This wine can easily be enjoyed now, but will continue to improve over the next 5-7 years. Pair this Cabernet with red wine and thyme braised pork, sausage and white bean soup, pork schnitzel with wild mushrooms, herb-flanked tri tip, or pork tenderloin in cinnamon herb black cherry sauce.
