Winemakers Notes
Produced with the best selection of our harvest, the deep ruby color of this wine accompanies rich aromas of vanilla, eucalyptus and oak with notes of caramel, nougat, and mocha. Spicy hints of clove, sweet peppers and cassis lead to a robust and deliciously long finish.
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.
