“Dark cherries, blackcurrants, cedar, nut shell and moist earth. Medium- to full-bodied with a juicy, fresh palate, offering vivid dark fruit and velvety tannins. Vivid, dark-fruited finish. Drink or hold.”
“The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is terrific. Pliant and explosive, with terrific density, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon packs quite the punch. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, mocha and spice are all nicely amplified. A touch of American oak adds sweetness. This is sure to be a crowd pleaser.”
