This wine carries itself with grace and purity of intent. Clean, driven aspects of black cherries and cassis hold court. Wafting from the rim of the glass without pretense comes the sincerity of fruit standing tall in an environment of diverse agriculture. Subtle hints of citrus rind and cardamom accompany a velvety core of ripe red cherries. The slightest dash of blueberry cream brings the wine to a close. Cellar for another 2-3 years and serve to cabernet sauvignon enthusiasts as a ringer in a blind tasting. “A la vie!”
