Tasting Notes
Classic Cabernet Sauvignon character leads the way, with pronounced notes of cassis, blackberry, and ripe plum. Cabernet Franc contributes subtle accents of cracked pepper and violet, while Petit Verdot deepens the profile with layers of black cherry and lavender. The palate is already velvety and composed, offering both richness and balance, yet structured to evolve beautifully over the next two decades. Two years in American oak have imparted nuanced notes of vanilla and beechwood, with tannins seamlessly integrated into the wine’s supple texture. Though it pairs effortlessly with a well-marbled ribeye, this vintage is so polished and inviting that it needs little more than good company and unhurried conversation.
