Tasting notes
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon impresses with its lifted, vibrant bouquet, as perfumed wild berry fruits mingle with rose petals, incense and nuances of shaved cedar. It is classy and refined, with soothingly round textures and peppery red and black fruits complicated by a tinge of graphite minerality. The energy here is admirable, despite its power and structure, as sweet tannins frame the experience under an air of dark inner florals. Nearly a minute goes by as the 2023 continues to resonate on the palate. Simply spellbinding.

I loved the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon, and this puppy just screams Cabernet Sauvignon. Cassis, sappy herbs, tobacco, and leaf pencil notes, as well as a beautiful sense of minerality, all emerge from the glass, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with a silky, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish.
