Cabernet Sauvignon Deep and luring aromas of raspberry and ripe cherry are intermingled with accents of star anise, five spice and freshly steeped black tea. The entry is smooth with a combination of cassis and blackberry with a satiating suppleness. Ultra round and soft, the wine finishes with reverberating length.
This wine is powerful, yet it is well balanced. It's rich, round, soft, and complex with well integrated tannin. The wine was aged for 10 months in French Oak, 35% new. There are layers of flavor that continue to surface while drinking including blackberry, oak, vanilla, tobacco, bay leaf, plum, cherry, raspberry, leather, cocoa and cassis. Long, lingering spiced dry finish. Try with grilled beef topped with minced shallots.
The label features a photo of mummified 16th-century Cardinal in Palermo, Italy. The photo's sense of power, reverence and dignity is reflective of how their winemaker crafts Cabernet.
