Description
This Oakville wine is opaque dark ruby in color. Exceptionally complex, blackberry syrup and baked cherry pie dominate the fruit aroma, with nuances of cinnamon, clove, tobacco, black pepper and forest floor. Very well integrated, the barrel aging added the ideal amount of complexity with French oak spices, aromatic cedar and vanilla on the back end. The wine has great depth of black fruit flavor, with a strong expression of sweet dark cherry and blackberry. This full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon has a smooth entry with well resolved tannins giving it structure yet a relatively soft finish. Well balanced with good acidity, the Oakville Cab is a pleasure now and has great aging potential.
