Wine Review: This Cabernet Sauvignon is deep ruby in color and presents with a complexity of aromas including fennel, eucalyptus, graphite and smoke. On the palate, the flavor profile is a delicious ripe strawberry and baked cherry strudel with a hint of espresso. The body is medium and thins out at the back of the palate but the wine is well balanced with an elaborate structure and its powerful tannins carry it through to a rewarding, very persistent mineral-infused and smoky vanilla finish. This Cab would pair well with seared duck breast. - Jeoff

Winemaker Notes: The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon "Ghielmetti Estate Vineyard" is our flagship Cabernet in the Single Vineyard Series. Always a wine of great complexity. 100% French oak serves as a scaffolding for the flavors and aromas that are abundantly Cabernet Sauvignon. Showing predominantly red fruit flavors such as red cherry, and red plum, the 2014 Ghielmetti Cabernet darkens slightly as it moves through the mouth. This wine will continue to evolve beautifully in bottle for the next 5-10 years.
