Nose
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is brimming with aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, cassis, and a hint of toasted Oak.
Palate
The palate is soft and supple, with flavors of blueberry, blackberry, and a touch of caramel. The mid-palate segues into a clean, rich finish with gentle, integrated tannins.
