This has lots of blackberry and blueberry character on the nose with forest fruit. Peppermint, too. Full body, sensational flavors and creamy tannins. Goes on for minutes. Drink after 2022, but gorgeous now. 800 cases made.

Made up of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Petite Sirah, 4% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot aged in 50% new French oak for 15 months, the very deep purple-black colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Audentia Estate sings of crème de cassis, dark chocolate, espresso and wood smoke with nuances of potpourri, violets and cedar plus a waft of underbrush. The palate is medium to full-bodied and beautifully elegant in the mouth, with firm yet exquisitely finely grained tannins and great freshness, finishing on a compelling perfumed note. 677 cases produced.
