Tasting notes
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Platinum is composed of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it has a nose scented of crème de cassis, baked cherries and plum preserves with nuances of dried mint, crushed rocks, bay leaves and cedar chest. Full-bodied, the palate is classically styled with loads of earth-laced black fruit and a pleasant suggestion of chewiness to the finish. 10,000 cases were made.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Platinum offers a touch more depth aromatically with spiced currants, tobacco leaf, graphite, and chocolate nuances. Drink this nicely textured, medium to full-bodied, balanced effort any time over the coming 10-15 years.
Extremely perfumed with crushed raspberries and plums. Some roses and other flowers. Full-bodied, round and rich. Opulent, yet fresh and delicious. Drink or hold.
