The 2023 Cabernet is a rockstar with an expression of elegance and finesse that shows Cabernet can have wings and fly.

Tasting Notes

Ruby color with garnet rim, displaying aromas of ripe fruit, sweet spices, and toasted caramel on the nose. This distinctive Cabernet undergoes a meticulous three-week fermentation with skins and seeds in stainless steel, followed by aging 40% in neutral French oak barrels and 60% in stainless steel for 10 months, creating perfect balance and complexity. The 2023 vintage shows elegance and finesse with slightly lower alcohol, less density and extraction than previous vintages. A bold and balanced wine that delivers fresh fruit on a backbone of refreshing acidity.
