A generous 18 months of aging in French oak barrels brings out the toasty oak nose and the entire bouquet of this wine is forward and very expansive. Created with a center core of firm tannins, this Cabernet Sauvignon is thick in body and structured with ample layers of fruit on the palate that mirror the nose. Crafted as a selection to benefit from cellaring for a decade or more, this vintage will show added complexity over time but, may be enjoyed in its youth as well.
