The wine was kept on skins for 13 days post fermentation and had extended ageing in American Oak; The wine leans towards plum over blackberry fruit with a cedar and spice influence from the American oak. There is a vibrancy to the wine that sees chocolate laced tannins and drying plum fruit enjoying an interjection of spice. The finish is long, mouth filling with blackberry fruit lingering. A bold expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that is sure to live a long time.
