What to Expect

Cabenet Sauvignon: Originally of French origins, this versatile grape produces exceptional wines around the globe. It's usually medium to full bodied with a fine structure that supports black and red fruit flavors with typical notes of olive, chili and herbs that add complexity.

Winemakers Notes

Grape Variety:
85% Cabernet Sauvignon; 15% Merlot.

Vintage:
Overall, the 2003-2004 season produced a very dry winter
and a very hot summer. These conditions led us to
expect an unusually early harvest. The precocity of the
vintage observed at the early stages of growth slowly
decreased however, and tasting of the berries showed a
much different pattern encouraging us to await the
suitable phenolic ripeness. March and April were also
marked by a few scattered rains. These small showers

Reviews

Showing a slight colouring at the edge on a mahogany core. Solid intensity on the nose full of complexity. I was very impressed with the initial expression on the nose as it showed no greenness and layers of fruit, leather, and tobacco. The palate showed great structure and balance acidity with softening tannins from a few years in the bottle. Still a young wine that could go for 3-6 more years. I appreciated the fact that it wasn't a fruit bomb. It held a finesse that I look for in a Cab.

A full-bodied and expressive red, with plenty of berry, red plum and chocolate-spice flavors. There are nice mineral and cedar notes mixed in, with fine tannins on the finish.
