From the nearly perfect 2012 vintage, this deep garnet colored Cabernet Sauvignon offers dark sweet blackberry and black licorice on the nose. Palate-wise, spices abound and dark berry flavors with notes of violets and vanilla cover a hint of chocolate and a touch of sandalwood. Medium to full-bodied, the finish is filled with spiced cherries and chewy, dusty tannins that will remain on your memory for some time. Unfiltered after pressing, the wine was aged for 18 months in a combination of American, French and Hungarian Oak (50% new).
