Tasting Notes:

One of the great Bordeaux families owns this vineyard, and the wine is already well-balanced in terms of fruit and tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon's powerful black cherry notes give the wine's structure a luscious quality. It will mature nicely and is rich. Goes nicely with chicken, wild game, and red meats.
