Dried violets, lavender, wild blueberries and underbrush smolder up from the 2022 Cabernet Locone. This displays a sleek contrast of ripe wild berry fruits and a tinge of bell pepper. The 2022 finishes gently tannic with chalky mineral tones and outstanding length. A residual twang of zesty acidity lends fantastic freshness on the close.

Lusciously deep blackcurrant and bramble fruit on the nose are balanced by remarkable levity and freshness. Fine, lightly chalky tannins and a hint of pleasing oregano herbaceousness come through on the palate, which is controlled and delineated.

A pure beam of ripe black currant and boysenberry fruit flavors drives this balanced red, layered with fine, sandy tannins and a delicate range of leafy herb, star anise and mocha accents. Drink now through 2032. 800 cases imported.
