The flavors recall ripe fruits of strawberry, cherry with hints of leather, dry herbs and chocolate. Full bodied with young and very accessible tannins the Cabernet Sauvignon’s mouthfeel reveals a mid-palate of dark fruit and lingering oak flavors.
The flavors highlight notes of caramel, roasted almond, and fruits such as melon and apricot. On the palate, the wine is generous and well balanced with a light lingering of creamy dough and oak nuances. A splash crisp apple, lemon and banana flavors complete the bouquet and persuades you to enjoy another sip.
