Nose
The fleshy rich plum and red berry notes are tethered to toasty spiced vanilla.
Palate
Layers of cocoa, cedar and a tea-like minerality round out the mid-palate with slightly sticky tannins bolstering the wine, lending itself to a velvety, lingering finish.
Aging
17 months in neutral French oak.
Food Pairing
It opens up in a massive way and pairs exceptionally well with traditionally Cabernet-paired meats--think juicy prime rib or smoky brisket.
