Typically the Cabernet is in the red fruit or dark fruit camp. However, this vintage has complexities of both types of aromas. Blackberry, plum and sweet maraschino cherry dominate the nose with hints of caramel. The wine is smooth at first, but then hits your cheeks with a mild acidity that makes your mouth water before you finish taking a sip. Lively and playful with flavors of dark fruit and just enough structure to let it age gracefully, while also enjoyable when young.
