Tasting notes
A full-bodied red with blackberry, black-chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. Bark and sweet tobacco. Mint, too. Flavorful finish. Cloves and black pepper to the fruit at the end. Drink or hold.

Medium ruby-purple, the 2018 Game Trail Cabernet Sauvignon has intense aromas of black fruits with accents of tar, earth, iron and leather. The palate is full-bodied and grainy with broody, still youthfully wound fruits and appealing hints of gravel, mint and spice that hint at more development to come with another couple of years in bottle.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Game Trail is a bold, brawny wine. Savory aromatics and burly tannins give the 2018 a bit of a rustic edge, and yet there is more than enough fruit to balance things out. This site planted at 1,400 feet in elevation in the Yorkville Highlands yields a Cabernet that is incredibly distinctive.
