Food-friendly, with a focused entry and good intensity on the mid-palate. Ripe, understated tannins and good acidity contribute perfect balance and medium viscosity. A slight bitterness on the finish bolsters the lingering fruit. This cabernet sauvignon shows the harmony and finesse of all its components. It has good color, delicate fruit aromas, and spicy elements from the forward wood, revealing its aging in noble oak. The impression in the mouth is linear and well balanced, with backbone. The acid and tannin structure is elegant yet firm, making this wine a good candidate for extended bottle aging, which will result in fine integration of its many flavors.
Serving suggestions:
This reserve-style wine will enhance ovenroasted meats, with spicy sauces, or creamy cows milk and sheeps milk cheeses. Drink now to appreciate the forward fruit aromas, or lay down for up to six years for the resolution of its fine, ripe, elegant tannins.
