This full-bodied wine presents plummy notes and a spiced black raspberry compote, showcasing a balanced profile with focus, power and precision. It ends with a fantastic, red-fruited finish.

All Cabernet Sauvignon from the Obelisco Vineyard on Red Mountain, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon The Albatross sports a vivid purple hue to go with a perfumed, floral character in its black and blue fruits, candied flowers, and spicy oak. It's rich and concentrated, but it’s shockingly sweet and overtly sugary on the palate, which is too bad, as otherwise this would be a terrific wine.
