Deep garnet in color, this Cabernet Sauvignon opens with expressive aromas of blackberry, black currant, and ripe plum layered with notes of cedar, vanilla, and subtle baking spice. The palate is full-bodied and plush, delivering concentrated dark fruit flavors supported by firm yet refined tannins. Hints of cocoa and graphite add complexity through the mid-palate. The finish is long, smooth, and confidently structured.

The winemaking approach emphasizes classic Sonoma balance and polished elegance.
