Full-bodied with silky tannins. Lean and focused on the palate with solid depth. Dry finish. Drink now."  Winemaker Notes:  "This is an elegant wine with earthy aromas of cassis, plum, black cherry, vanilla, oak, chocolate and a slight cola note. In the glass there are lush flavors of cherry, cassis, blackberry and chocolate. The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a structured wine with firm tannins and a chewy finish that evolves with each sip. While fruit forward upon release, this wine will reward those with the patience to lay down a few bottles."  Alcohol:  14.0% *Price and availability in store may vary.
