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

Dark garnet. The fresh bell pepper notes that dominated the nose on this wine in its youth have turned to roasted peppers, with complementary forest-y sorts of aromas and a suggestion of nori, all making for a greenish cast that is actually quite attractive (to this Cab Franc-loving taster, anyway). Just a wee bit of warmth doesn't detract or clash. Rich, yes, but also dry; far drier, in fact, than the Cabernets Sarah and Sparky made for the Marquis-Philips label during this same era. Liqueurlike but not hot on the finish.
