The classic 2012 vintage resulted in an aromatic, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with dark plummy scents of ripe raspberry, dark cherry compote and veiled glimpses of black licorice. There’s an appealing softness to the mid palate that hovers over a firm, underlying structure of dark, minerally tannins. Bold flavors of ripe raspberry and blackberry precede ripe blueberry and spicy, toasted notes of caramelized oak and tobacco, while the unrelenting finish resonates with plum, ash and graphite-like mineral nuances.
