Winemaker Comments:
The 2009 vintage will be remembered as one
of the best in the past decade. This Cabernet Sauvignon displays
elegant aromas of cherry and red raspberry along with sage and
dried flowers. On the palate, the wine is extremely well
balanced with silky tannins that carefully weave together the
earthy, dusty nuances of this Bordeaux-esque wine. With some
airing, the wine flushes out providing even more dimension and
depth. The finish lingers with fine tannins that are very
elegant and structured.
