This is a very attractive, medium body Cabernet with aromas of bing cherries, cassis, vanilla, soft leather and cedar. On the palate, the texture it is well balanced with rich fruit, lively acidity, well integrated oak and noticeable tannins. Alcohol is in check at 13.9%. It has a long cherry and cedar finish with light tannins.
I visited this winery in Sonoma in September of 2008, during harvest, a very busy time at the vineyard for sure. I enjoyed my experience, the friendly staff, great tasting (including a Port made of Cabernet grapes) and a beautiful setting. This winery grows olives for their olive oil as well; which explains the olive tree branch on their labels. A truly beautiful winery.
I enjoyed this wine with a steak on the BBQ, life is good.
This wine was purchased in British Columbia in January 2010 at $29.00
