The Cabernet is a blend of 88% Cabernet with 12% Merlot. This was aged 22 months in French oak barrels (65% new) prior to bottling.There are aromas of cedar, blackberry and mocha. The wine is open and polished with flavors of blackberry, graphite, anise, creme de cassis and mild tannins. There is a marvelous mouthfeel to this wine, with brisk minerality.
