As with all of the grapes that came from this vineyard, we were excited to see what this fruit would offer from the first vintage. And again we were pleased to find it was going to be another worthy expression of our landscape. This is a deeper, darker, Cabernet Sauvignon than its ASV brother. There are loads of ripe blackberries, and cassis, with interesting roasted pablano pepper and tobacco notes. There’s a rich mouthfeel, with black cherries, chocolate, round tannins and a subtle sweetness. This is a crowd pleaser for sure! And one that we hope to see in this series again!
