This Cabernet Sauvignon intensifies the taste buds as it touches the palate with lush flavors of dark fruit, hibiscus, and baking spices intertwined with caramel, toasty vanilla, and tart cherries. This wine embodies all that is Cabernet.

Production Notes
The fruit was hand harvested at maturity in early Fall, brought to the cellar where the fruit was hand sorted and destemmed. Placed into an open-top fermenter with a cold soak of 6 days, during fermentation punch-downs 3X per day until fermentation was complete. Allowing for an extended maceration of 31 days, grapes were then pressed. The wine was racked into 80 % New French oak barrels and 20% French oak barrels where it aged for 36 months.
