Winemaker Notes
This single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon offers inviting aromas of huckleberry pie, caramelized pear, graham cracker, sweet baking spices and wildberry jam. The palate is filled with densely layered blackberry and blueberry flavors, complemented by subtle notes of stone and minerality. A lush, elegant finish completes the wine.
