Forward, already open and showing its cedar, tobacco, spicy cassis character with not much effort.

A healthy dose of cassis, oak, tobacco and spice box create the nose. The wine is medium/full bodied, with ripe, dark red fruits, freshness and length. Clearly, this should be even better with age. The wine was produced from a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot. 3,754 Views Tasted Feb 1, 2017 |
