The 2015 growing season was one of the hottest and driest vintages in a string of many hot years that led to starting harvest 2-3 weeks earlier than normal. The hot days and cool nights are ideal for concent-rating and developing strong flavors as the grapes ripen and 2015 turned out to be an outstanding vintage. Deep purple in color, our estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon offers vibrant aromatics of black cherry, blackberries, cassis, cedar wood, with hints of chocolate. The elegance of the bouquet is followed by a robust mid-palate packed with wild berries, plum, blackcurrants, and mocha. Assertive, yet well-balanced tannins round out this full-bodied Cabernet and add to the mouth coating flavors of the lengthy yet, wonderful finish. Try pairing this delightful wine with a cherry glazed roasted duck breast with a pecan puree, or a rich blue cheeseburger!

We ordered this product based on your email advertising its release. We had high expectations and were not disappointed. We finished a bottle the second day after receiving it. It is an excellant wine to just sit and relax with. Enjoyed it very much.
