Wild berries and ripe plums lift from the glass carrying nose to palate with mixed black and purple fruits, spiced tobacco, dried blossoms, and oiled leather. An otherwise brooding character for this Cabernet gains complexity with succulent texture, melting tannins an almost steely, refreshing quality. Enjoy with braised meats and a hearty Autumn meal. Or, keep it in cellar for at least fifteen more years for further deepening of character.
