Tasting note

Briary, herbal berry aromas are dry, earthy, foresty and show a note of olive. This Cab is full of life on the palate, with energy and good overall balance. Spicy flavors of baked plum, olive, herbs and tobacco finish long, with amplified oak. Drink now through 2018. Score - 90. (Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 31, 2015)

With a very good presentation, this wine is deep cherry-red in color with a ruby-red rim. Elegant on the nose, with moderate aromatic intensity that recalls fresh wild fruits and cherries accompanied by spicy notes of black pepper, tobacco, and an elegant touch of coffee. Elegance and depth stand out on the palate. Barrel aging lends refinement and volume, which suggests long aging potential.
