Nose
Blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum aromas bursting from the glass. With secondary notes of black tea and dried hibiscus.
Palate
A full and intense delivery on the palate with dusty tannins that support a long evolution of flavors. Plums, briar, blackberries and licorice all are present, with a touch of stone, all delivered in a rich textural mouthfeel.
Growing Conditions
In the 2013 vintage, we experienced moderate temperatures and dry conditions in all of our vineyard locations. All wines from the vintage, both red and white, benefitted from a long, cool growing season, and this was especially true for Cabernet Sauvignon.
