Rich with dark cherry, plum, and baking spices. The delicious fruit is accompanied by black pepper notes, crushed violet, and cassis. The palate has medium tannins, lingering spicy oak flavors with a velvety lush finish.
Enjoy this Cabernet with a grilled steak, rack of lamb, or grilled winter vegetables.

Tasting Panel Review - Rated 92:
From a rainy spring season to summer heat waves, this vintage endured some challenges but pulled through with determination: Aged for 16 months in (20% new) French oak, it’s an expressive red that speaks of violets, blueberry, soy sauce, and underbrush on both the nose and palate while further proving its worthiness with alert acidity, a stream of dark chocolate, and lush notes of coffee.

This offers outstanding value—a nice mingling of rich red fruit with lively spice and oak. With additions of Merlot, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petite Sirah, it delivers fruity flavor within an approachable, enjoyable length of supple tannin and lush texture. VIRGINIE BOONE
James Suckling Review - Published April 7, 2022 - Rated 90:
A fresh and easy cab with redcurrants, fine tannins and a fresh and bright finish. Medium body. Clean and bright at the end. No-nonsense red here. Sustainable. Drink now.
