Made from only Cabernet Sauvignon that ferments in stainless steel. The wine then ages in French tonneau-size barrels for 16-18 months. This vintage 2007 has been on the market for several years now and from the beginning has met with significant success. Tasting it again today confirms that it has lost none of the goodness it had before and has even improved. The wine has a dark and intense color and a bouquet of remarkable complexity which opens with fresh notes of candied citrus followed by fruity tones of blueberry and then cinchona and graphite. The impact of the mouthfeel is silky and rich with very fine tannins. The finish is very long and satisfying and underscores a single attribute: elegance.
