2017 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Block 8

A stunning and sophisticated wine. Aromas of wild bulueberry and creme de cassis rise from the glass, followed by layers of vanilla, tobacco leaf and savory smoked meats. Lush dark fruit continues on the palate, where firm tannins and refreshing acidity hint at this wine's excellent aging potential. The finish is complex and lingering, with notes of plum, purple roses, dark berry fruit and exotic spice.

From its near opaque, inky purple color to its luxurious aromas of blueberry liqueur, cassis, graphite, vanilla and violets, this is beautifully structured wine. On the palate, firm, age-worthy tannins support layers of ripe blackberry and holiday spice, with a nice note of energetic freshness adding poise and complexity to this rich, full-bodied wine
