Volker Eisele 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon

The fruit for the 2014 Sievers Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a section of the Volker Eisele estate vineyard called the Canyon Block - here, the isolated vines produce exceptional fruit and wines of uncommon balance and finesse. Inky dark red in color, this Cabernet Sauvignon offers dark and brooding aromas with prominent notes of espresso, black currant, a subtle floral note of violets, and oak smoke. In the mouth, the wine is smooth but massive, with flavors of dark plum, perfumed heavily toasted oak, a touch of black olives, and pure dark chocolate. The smoky finish is long and redolent of sweet oak char.
