Cabernet Sauvignon

A grape of regal stature, Cabernet Sauvignon reveals its nobility through cassis, cedar, and graphite-scented aromas. Young examples brim with blackcurrant and green bell pepper, while age bestows notes of cigar box and truffle. Structured yet supple, the tannins offer a framework for deep, layered flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of mint. Bordeaux shows its classic restraint, while Napa’s sunshine yields opulence. In all cases, this is a wine built for longevity, often benefiting from decanting to soften its youthful vigor and reveal its intricate, rewarding depth.
