Forward and captivating, with a medium-full midpalate and lovely balance. The tannins are a bit dry at this stage, but harmonious and in balance with the acidity. The finish is firm, leaving the impression of rich, ripe fruit. Still quite young, it has the elements found in abundance in some of the world's greatest wines: deep color, tight but complex aromas, and a powerful structure. This wine displays the strengths of the cabernet sauvignon grape, especially in its tannin structure. It is balanced and elegant from entry to finish. Oak aging accentuates the forward grapy

Serving suggestions:
While vinified for casual, everyday enjoyment, the wine's concentration is impressive and will show best alongside simply grilled meats or fullflavored dishes with spicy sauces. Highly recommended with fresh or aged goat cheese. This wine will age and meld gracefully in the bottle for at least five years. Serve at 68ºF (20ºC).
