Creamy velvet-lined chocolate licorice indicates the soft tannins and streamlined structure of this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon planted on hillsides that climb as high as 1600 feet above sea level. Aged for 26 months in 75% new French oak, notes of tree bark, graphite, and blackberry-filled cake surround the palate. Spiced cedar braces against the tongue, while black tea and black plum are streamlined on the finish.
