The 2013 Enos Estate Cabernet is deep purple in color. The nose is rich with notes of worn leather, graphite, toasted pumpkin seeds and black cherry cream. The palate is rich and weighty with fine, chalky tannins. A long, seamless finish is resplendent with peppery dark forest fruit, roasted game and blackberry coulis.
