Tasting Notes

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a bouquet of creme de cassis together with hints of vanilla and anise. The flavor of cassis over delivers in harmony with bright ruby fruits, rosemary blossom, and damp forest floor. Full-bodied tannin, classic cabernet spice, and a dense texture create a multidimensional and layered wine.
