Cabernet Sauvignon

A Cabernet Sauvignon bred on the vine and in the winery for early approachability, the wine nevertheless evolves in bottle to repay patience in its consumption. Because of its vivid fruit and moderate concentration of tannins, its food pairing range is broader than expected, while still giving great satisfaction especially with rich red meats and game.

Cellar Life

An Octagon vintage, of ideal dryness and temperature balances through almost all of September, permitting fine ripening before the steady rains which arrived at the end of the month. This will be an elegant and finely balanced Cabernet Sauvignon, for enjoyment in its youthful years in bottle, without the greater longevity afforded by the finest vintages.

Tasting Notes

Complex and inviting, ripened dark berry fruit woven with currant, cassis, and chocolate notes. As expected, supple and refined tannins sustain a bold but balanced finish.
