Comments
The wonderfully pure, pretty nose of our 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is redolent of warm berry cobbler, with lovely toasted boysenberry and blackberry scents joined by hints of wild cherry, loamy earth and oak vanillin. On the supple, beautifully structured palate, the wine offers rich, vibrant blackberry, plum and black cherry flavors framed by perfectly integrated tannins and a long, savory finish.
Judge notes
Rich oak and roasted meat aromas followed by heady creme de cassis flavors and bittersweet black fruit. Plush mouth coating texture. Complete and satisfying.
