Wine Review: This wine has a marvelous bouquet that is so inviting. On the palate, the wine is vibrant, exciting, and dry. It is well balanced and tasty. The finish is lengthy, dry, and delightful. Good with a hearty meal now and should round out nicely with time. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Aroma: Forward, rich aromas of black fruit, mocha, and bay leaf. Flavors: Concentrated, deep layers of black cherry and wild berry, shaded with cassis, dark caramel, mocha, and cedar. Finish: Generous berry flavors carry through with impressive length, remaining smooth and inviting. General: A supple, beautifully balanced Mt. Veeder Cabernet with pure flavors and a fine tannin structure, exhibiting power and grace.
