Type: Red

Winemaker's Notes:

Ruby-red coloring with herb-laced aromas of cherry and blackcurrant. Tangy cherry and berry skin flavors show good palate-coating intensity and spicy back-end lift A bit tart on the finish with a cherry finish. Supple tannins add nice weight and structure.

The fruit for this Cabernet Sauvignon came from premium Eden Valley vineyards. This wine was made using a philosophy of minimal handling to preserve the wine's primary fruit character.

The wine underwent primary fermentation in stainless steel and then spent six months on oak, where it underwent malolactic fermentation. This Cabernet Sauvignon embodies the characters of cooler climate wines: more savory fruit, more intense aromatics, & spice.
