The exceptional character of our 2005 vintage grapes is reflected in this well balanced Italian style wine. Silky and elegant, with fruit aromas of raspberries, black cherries, and blueberries harmonizing with soft vanilla and eucalyptus tones. Bold cherry and cassis flavors blend into wild berries and black pepper tones with the characteristic long finish of our Cabernet Sauvignon wines.

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.
