Winery Review: The aroma of our Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is very fruit driven, with a nice combination of blackberry, red currant, and a background of dark chocolate and cocoa. A hint of brightness in the fruit aromas, together with the classic Cabernet depth, signals this wine's Sonoma County roots. On the palate, dark chocolate-covered cherry flavors meet hints of mocha, and the dark fruit profile carries all the way through the lively mid-palate. The mouthfeel is soft and silky, with mouthfilling, velvety tannins that give the wine finesse and marry well with the wine's light acidity. In addition, the mixture of French and American oak aging lends light touches of vanilla and cinnamon to this wine's background complexity. This wine's focused fruit profile and depth, finishing with a long raspberry note, makes this wine stand out as a classic Sonoma County Cabernet.
Review: The smell was yeasty and floral. There were some liquorice flavors as well. You could taste a berry maybe strawberry, plumb, and a grassy vegetation finish. You could also taste the alcohol. The wine was slightly dry.
