"A handsome red, refined and focused, with appealing black currant, pencil lead and bay leaf flavors that gather tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030. 1,728 cases made. - TF"
Product Description:
"More garnet in color, this Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend shows beautiful color intensity.
The Don opens with concentrated aromas of bramble fruit, black tea, plum, and black currants. Swirling brings forth huckleberries, dark cherries, cinnamon, mint, violet floral aromas, dried sage and oregano, with hints of cigar box and coffee.
The palate shows a bit more freshness on first impression and medium-full bodied with a sleek mouthfeel, firm tannins and vibrant acidity that provides great backbone. Pronounced flavors of plums, fig, and cherries dominate, evolving into earthiness, with a slightly meaty mid-palate and mineral notes that lead into a lengthy finish.
Enjoy this popular GÃ¥rd blend now or in the next 10 years." - Winery
