| Winemaker’s Notes: |
Blended with small amounts of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, our 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a dark ruby color and deeply concentrated aromas of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and black plum fruit interwoven with scents of earth, sage, and herbal spice. Big, ripe and juicy on the palate, its mouth-filling blackcurrant and dark plum flavors are supported by round, supple tannins that guide the wine through its long, rich and smooth finish. Delicious now with grilled steak and lamb, prime rib, venison stew and other hearty repasts, it will age beautifully for another 7-10 years.
