WinemakingAppearance:A dark purple in the glass.
Aroma:Fragrant aromas of violet, blackberry, eucalyptus and notes of chocolate waft from the glass.
Palate:This is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon brimming with dark fruit flavors including dark plum and raspberry with touches of mocha and anise. The finish is decadent with plush, well-integrated tannins.
Tech NotesVintage Notes:2020 kicked of with ideal growing conditions. Mild temperatures led to evenly developed clusters and an early budbreak was followed by a warm to hot summer. Low winter rains resulted in smaller berries with concentrated flavors. Harvest began in early August with normal yields and exceptional fruit quality.
