2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
Awards

Arguably the most important red wine grape in the world, a distinguished Cabernet Sauvignon is one of life’s great pleasures. We choose our Cabernet sites carefully: warm days with lots of sunshine, cool nights to preserve the balance of the fruit, well-drained soils, and gentle slopes. These elements allow us to produce exceptional Cabs year in and year out. Our 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is intense and focused, with a rich, concentrated core of black currant and blackberry fruit, complemented by spicy notes of cedar and mint. The balance of fruit, acidity and well-integrated tannins make this an ideal drink-now companion to fine cuisine, while aging will only enhance the layers and complexity.
