Bright raspberry, warm cherry pie, and deep vanilla aromas beautifully illustrate the characteristics of the steep hillside heritage of this young Cabernet, while more savory notes of clove, cocoa powder, sweet earth and a hint of dried anise provide darker tones and complexity. On the palate, the wine is soft, full, and round at entry, followed by a rich, full-bodied and ripe mid-palate with dense, ripe black cherry flavors. The finish is full, broad and juicy, with notes of fresh plums and raspberry jam lingering as the textural components slowly fade.
