2016 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Your glass fills with a captivating deep ruby. The aroma is an addictive and bold perfume of black current and fig. Each sip welcomes you with velvety tannins, bursting onto your palate with notes of leather and cigar box. A balanced blend of French and American oak infuse a pleasant undertone of warm earthiness reminiscent of volcanic rock. This Cabernet is rich and complex without decanting and pairs well with a simple red meat meal from your local cattle ranch.

The color is deep purple fading to a pale ruby on the edges. Decant this wine and serve at room temperature, allowing the wine to open up so you can enjoy all of the aromatics it has to offer. On the nose you’ll find aromatics of blackberry, blueberry, violets. Mocha and spices are noticeable as the wine decants and warms. Bright, with soft tannins and an earthy mouthfeel, the elegance of this medium bodied wine coats your mouth with a long finish that lingers with a tart acidity.
