2017 Tasting Notes

The 2017 vintage offers a deeply expressive and powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, shaped by a warm growing season that yielded wines of concentration and immediacy. Aromatically layered, it opens with notes of ripe blackcurrant, crushed blackberry, and dark plum, accented by hints of graphite, toasted cedar, and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is richly textured yet finely structured, with velvety tannins framing its dense core of dark fruit. Subtle undertones of espresso, baking spice, and smoked sage add complexity, while a persistent, polished finish reflects both intensity and refinement.
