Blended of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a nose of cassis, blackberries and black cherries, with cedar, Marmite toast and pencil shavings nuances. Medium to full-bodied and firm in the mouth, it has a decent core but is simple and a tad lacking in persistence.

This has a flattering, lush feel, offering creamy layers of raspberry, plum and boysenberry fruit flavors liberally laced with melted licorice and sweet toast notes. Just juicy enough to keep this honest; for fans of the flashy style though. Drink now through 2024. 25,000 cases made.
