Nose
The 2014 Sonoma Estates offers layered aromas of black cherry and black currant preserve, followed by decadent undertones of chai tea and mocha.
Palate
It is bright and juicy on the palate, complemented with a plush and velvety texture. This well-balanced and elegant Cabernet is very versatile.
Winemaking
Primary and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, following by a series of rackings to remove the wine from lees contact.
Aging
The wine was then aged for 16 months in oak barrels (24% new, primarily French).
Food Pairing
Can be paired anything from casual pub fare to a classic ribeye.
