About the wine

This 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon has intricate aromas, revealing layers of rich dark fruit and nuanced spice accents. Juicy blueberry, vibrant red raspberry, and succulent ripe plum dominate the palate, while gentle hints of toasted oak and creamy vanilla unfold mid-palate. The texture is velvety and full-bodied. The tannins are refined, leading to an elegant finish.
