We relied on indigenous yeast for fermentation and then aged the wine in French oak barrels for 17 months before moving the wine to large oak casks for 6 months just before bottling to achieve the perfect level of oak. This is a full-bodied and well balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with rich flavors of blackberries, black licorice and a hint of allspice with a long, seductive finish. Having the patience to cellar this wine will reward you in the glass years from now. Serve with simply roasted meat dishes or all by itself to fully enjoy the wine's complex flavors.
