A deeply colored, opulent yet finely tuned expression of Oakville. It opens with an intense bouquet of violet and graphite, followed by ripe black cherry, cassis, and subtle orange zest. Full-bodied and seamless on the palate, it strikes a compelling balance between richness and lift, with silky tannins framing notes of clove, cinnamon, and exotic spice. There is both polish and personality here. The finish is long, fresh, and persistent, carried by vibrant acidity and mineral undertones. A serious, expressive Cabernet that should drink beautifully over the next 15–20+ years.
