Staff Pick Notes
A great varietal expression: a bold Cabernet Sauvignon with the typical aromas and flavors that you would expect from this grape variety. Black fruit, such as blackberry, dark cherry and plums. The oak gives balance and secondary flavors without being overwhelming: tobacco, cedar and chocolate and what the experts call "pencil shaving". In other words it means minerality and earthiness. The oak ageing is very controlled and well made. The tannins are very integrated.
