Made from 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate has a slowly evolving nose of smoked meats, sandalwood and unsmoked cigars over a core of cassis, blackberry pie and dried mulberries. Medium-bodied and finely styled in the mouth with bags of finesse, it has a savory, understated palate and quiet intensity on the finish. 500 cases produced.

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful, tightly wound wine. Grilled herbs, smoke, licorice, cedar and tobacco open up in the expressive bouquet. The 2014 is going to need a bit of time to soften, but it is impressive today just the same. Like all the Roy Cabernets, the 2014 is deep and explosive, but it needs time to soften.
