Tasting notes
A great wine from a more challenging vintage, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon offers terrific complexity in its chocolaty dark fruits, spice box, and cedar pencil aromatics. These give way to a medium to full-bodied, silky, beautifully balanced Cabernet that can be enjoyed any time over the coming 15+ years.

This was tasted as a barrel sample. Deep garnet-purple, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate charges forth with bold black fruit expressions of blackberries, black currants and black plums, slowly revealing hints of dried mint, lavender, tapenade and pencil lead plus a waft of underbrush. Rich, full-bodied and concentrated with a firm line of wonderfully ripe, fine-grained tannins, it has a lovely line of freshness and a very long, very pure finish.
