Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a lovely bouquet with red plum, incense, clove and white pepper scents, all very well-defined. The oak here is seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with granular tannins, a healthy dash of black pepper, a slightly bitter edge and balsamic hints toward the finish. This still needs a couple more years in bottle. It’s just a baby.

Lots of information on the back label such as 22-year-old vines. Bright crimson. Subtler nose than most. Firm blackcurrant-liqueur aroma and then a tight, ambitious charge of tannins. Pretty sweet on the end. Not nearly ready. (JR)
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a perfumed bouquet of black currant, blueberry and touches of cedar/pine cones; the oak is nicely integrated here. The medium-bodied palate features sappy red fruit and an undercurrent of salinity that imparts a subtle marine influence toward the composed finish. Classy.
Soon to be released in the US, the bold and lush 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a dark-fruited core with good complexity and soft oak tones. On the palate, the wine is fresh and ripe, with a core of dense, chewy black fruit that is connected to the oak by way of subtle baking spices. The mid-palate expresses a focus of balanced and structured complexity. It lingers long on the finish, showing a well-built wine that can be cellar-aged for years to come or enjoyed with fine cuts of grilled red meat for dinner tonight.
