Composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine makes a statement right out of the gate. The deeply toned ruby rim heralds a wine that is defined by lushness and an elegant concentration of fresh orchard fruits. This mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon showcases an array of crushed mixed berries, crème de cassis and dried flowers layered with creamy, ripe tannins on the edges. There is a finesse-driven finish.
