Nose
On the nose are aromas of dark chocolate, tobacco, black fruits and cola.
Palate
Smooth and complete on the palate, the essence of blueberry mingles with rich cacao, blackcurrants and licorice. The finish is long with velvety, integrated tannins.
Growing Conditions
VINEYARD:
Eagle Summit & Red Head
Winemaking
Swagger is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from the Eagle Summit Vineyard, clones 4 and 7 and the Redhead Vineyard, clone 685 by Thomas Brown.
Aging
We use 100% French oak barrels, 80% new from Taransaud, Darnajou and Hermitage.
Appearance
The first thing that stands out in the 2016 Swagger is the intense dark color - evidence of the complexity, richness and density of this wine.
