Taste
A nice wave of fruits enter your palate and springs forth in layers, slowly caressing with moderately weighted dark fruits. There is nerve and trapped energy presented here, on the late palate the fruits turn to have a stony edge and minerality which dries out the late palate. This is very easy to like Cabernet, and it show you the wonders of this varietal when it all comes together. The tannins are driving, fruit filled and with a slight bitter edge.
