Special Selection

VineSugar Review:

Classic. Deep, dark ruby red color. Rich black cherry aromas with touches of vanilla, tobacco, chocolate, and earth. Sexy and smooth on the palate with silky flavors berrys, plum, exotic spice and chocolate. Firm tannins provide great structure and the finish is long with supple tannins and juicy berries.

Winemaker Notes

Dense, saturated dark ruby color. Dominant aromas of ripe black currants, black cherries and sweet berries, with subtler suggestions of brown spices, bittersweet cocoa and earth. In the mouth, bursting flavors of berry fruits/plums at their lush, high-summer ripeness, toasted spice and chocolate. Fine, fully mature tannins give the wine a satisfying grip--a textural element I love. The finish is long, rich and fruit-filled yet surprisingly supple for Cabernet at this level of extraction.
