This would be a superb wine at three times the price, offering far more in flavor, texture and stability than most anything in its price class. Deep aromas of blackberry, peppercorn, woodspice and oregano lead from the nose into a rich palate that's lush but bone dry. FLavors of blue and red fruit are dusted in espresso and baking spice, finishing on a chocolate note.
Product Description:
"The nose is intense, elegant, and subtly powerful, revealing notes of wild strawberry, small red berries, and hints of crisp plum. Light touches of rosewood, dried olive, discreet licorice, and a faint hint of pepper appear in the background. The palate is fruity, smooth, and juicy, with a fine creaminess, a touch of richness, and precise, fresh fruit expression supported by a refined minerality. It shows pulpy redcurrant, juicy blackcurrant, and subtle strawberry, with hints of cherry, fresh flowers, delicate minerality, olive, licorice, and spice. The tannins are precise and smooth. The Cabernet Sauvignon is perfect as an accompaniment to dishes cooked in herbs such as a rack of lamb or pork tenderloin." - Importer
