Nose
Layers of black cassis and red plum give the wine plenty of density.
Palate
Still, it possesses subtly and structure, relying on the finesse of delicate flavors rather than pure fruit power. Like the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon, we believe the cooler vintage style will benefit from longer aging that will accentuate the exotic spice notes.
Aging
Aged 20 months in 40% new French oak
