<p>Our hillside Cabernet Sauvignon ripened beautifully in 2003, providing the lush berry fruit that serves as the base of this wine. Merlot adds opulence and breadth to the wine, and an alluring sage, dried brush element to the aromas. Just a dash of Petit Verdot grounds the wine, adding depth and structure, as well as layers of complexity and interest.</p>
