Tasting Note: On the nose, the wine displays a beautiful bouquet of fresh blueberry cobbler, burnt sugar, vanilla bean, and a touch of earth. On the palate, flavors of cocoa powder and baking spices come through, with additional silky vanilla that lingers long after the wine has been savored. The tannins are beautifully integrated and frame this robust Cabernet Sauvignon, providing a luxurious full mouthfeel that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning of palates.
Accolades: Extremely dark in the glass, this is an extremely ripe expression of Cab, the result of years of dedication to concentration. Gooey aromas of cappuccino candy, baked fruits, and caramel-cake consume the nose. The palate starts with a touch of tannic tension, but the flavors of gingerbread and stewed fruit dominate the experience. — Matt Kettmann
