A commanding Cabernet with the polish and allure that live up to the noteworthy winemaker pedigree. The bouquet opens with ripe blueberry and mocha, then turns deeper and more serious, layering dark cocoa, baker’s chocolate, graphite, and a subtle Cohiba-like cigar box note that portends grandeur to come. On the palate, it’s broad-shouldered and seamless, delivering black cherry, plum, and creamy blue fruit wrapped in a luxurious texture, with walnut and savory accents adding complexity and depth. The tannins are silky yet firmly structured, with a finish that lingers with dark chocolate and hints of new French oak. Guaranteed to deliver thrills when paired with a juicy ribeye steak or rack of lamb tonight (decant for 10 minutes) through 2028+.
