Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $24.00 per bottle

Description: At 120 cases this Cab's brilliantly pure nose literally explodes from the glass and then gets better with time. Textured but not overdone. Here’s a Cabernet with a nose so true and dense that you can barely get inside, but once you do everything is there. Huge, dynamic fruit plays off fine wood notes. A very big, very black wine. It offers wonderful density and concentration, ripe balance, and plummy, mixed red fruits. Elegantly astringent tannins build up and prolong the flavorful, palate-caressing finish. It’s tight now, but for fans of masculine Cabs that still feature a core of fruit, this is terrific stuff. Silver Medal Winner at the 2006 Denver International Wine Competition
