the wine
A dependable Cabernet with the ripe fruit and firm backbone that make it a natural partner for red meat. We open bottles like this for grill nights and cool-weather stews, when a wine with a little grip earns its place. A few years in bottle have softened its edges nicely.
tasting notes
Purplish-ruby. Red fruit, cassis, plum and raspberry with tobacco and dark chocolate. Juicy red and black fruit, firm structure, fine tannins and good persistence.
shipping
Orders ship in protective packaging within 2 business days. An adult signature (21+) is required on delivery. We hold shipments during extreme heat or cold and email you first.
