Tasting notes
Dark ruby. Cherry, cassis, dark chocolate and candied violet on the smoky, intensely perfumed nose. Sweet, supple dark fruit compote flavors are complicated by floral pastille and bitter chocolate accents, with bright acidity adding lift and cut. Refreshingly spicy on the finish, which clings with very good tenacity and a subtle touch of mocha.

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is terrific. There is plenty of varietal character and sheer personality in this beautifully delineated Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark red fruit, grilled herbs, tobacco and spices flow through gracefully in this medium-bodied, harmonious offering, which gains intensity with air.
