Tasting notes
Opaque ruby. Fresh cherry, blackberry and pipe tobacco on the highly perfumed nose, which is accented by candied licorice and mocha notes. Concentrated and sweet in style, showing no rough edges to the sappy black and blue fruit and vanilla flavors. In a plush, open-knit style, showing impressive closing punch, polished tannins and a lingering floral quality.

A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 2% Merlot, the 2015 "Bunkhouse" Cabernet Sauvignon opens with ripe black plums, blueberries and cassis notes plus suggestions of Chinese five spice, potpourri and bay leaves. Medium-bodied, with a good amount of youthful, muscular fruit, it has a well-played backbone of grainy tannins and just enough freshness on the long finish.
