Winemaker Comments:
The bouquet of this rich, balanced Cabernet Sauvignon shows ripe black cherry and black currant with hints of vanilla and black pepper. On the palate, elegant flavors of ripe black cherry, currant and creamy spice are complimented with hints of dark chocolate. Additional Bordeaux varietals are key to this wine as the flavors are well integrated without being overpowering. The result is a wine that is extremely food friendly and should compliment an array of foods from pizza to steak.
