Tasting notes
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Annum is made up of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc. It's deep ruby with a nose of graphite, dusty earth, bitter chocolate and cardamom with floral sparks, iron, crème de cassis, red and black cherries, loamy earth and star anise. Medium to full-bodied, it's lush and smooth in the mouth with loads of chocolaty fruits, very ripe, grainy tannins and great acidity, finishing very long. Lovely! 606 cases were made.

With a Pauillac-like style in its graphite, blackcurrant, lead pencil and tobacco aromatics, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Annum is a full-bodied, concentrated, seamless 2014 that’s very much in the style of the 2014 vintage. Despite the upfront charm, it has plenty of underlying tannin and structure and is going to evolve beautifully for 15-20 years. This cuvée is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc, aged all in new oak.
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Annum is rich, racy and seductive, and yet also maintains a very classic, mid-weight sense of structure. The flavors are bright and nicely focused in this nuanced, mid-weight wine. The 2014 is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc, with the Franc adding quite a bit of brightness and aromatic nuance. This has terrific potential.
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Annum is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Rich, unctuous and powerful, as it was last year, the 2014 is endowed with layers of dark, silky fruit, striking inner sweetness and gorgeous aromatics, all qualities that are typical of the eastern portion of Oakville.
