Fresh and expressive, showing remarkable depth and complexity, tributes of the cooler western bench of Oakville. Intense notes of dark black cherry, brambly blackberry, red currant, black plum, dark chocolate and cassis are supported by more savory, earthy notes of dried lavender, black olive tapenade, graphite and black licorice. Exceptionally concentrated, generous and balanced with firm, present tannins that are well-integrated with the oak spice, leading to a long lingering savory finish.
A near-perfect season in was welcomed after several tense vintages, beginning with
abundant February rains, followed by warming sun and weather that allowed for even floweringย and bud break. The slightly later start was followed by consistently ideal weather, with harvest forย Cabernet Sauvignon occurring in early October. Generally normal to heavier fruit-set with greatย flavor intensity and complexity will be the hallmark of the season.
