Nose
dense and concentrated, with abundant flavors of black currants, black cherries, bittersweet chocolate, cardamom spice and a hint of violet.
Palate
Aged in new and seasoned French oak barrels that embellish the wine with notes of smoky oak, cedar, and hints of tobacco and graphite, this is a deeply-fruited, powerful Rutherford Cabernet from another spectacular vintage. The wine’s polished tannins, long finish, and firm structure promise long term aging potential.
