The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon shows the brighter side of Cabernet, with a rounded midpalate of cassis and sweet oak wrapped in considerable tannin. Secondary characteristics of dried herb and pencil shavings add intrigue and complexity to the medium-bodied whole, with 7% Petit Verdot adding color and tannin and 4% Malbec and 4% Merlot more supple juiciness to the fruit. Sourced from the Bob Healy Estate, Flying B Estate, and Kulle, aging took place over 22 months in 42% new French oak. Hold and drink 2028-2038.

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon slowly evolves with nuances of gravel dust and dried violets, giving way to citrus-inflected blackberries. It's savory in style with cooling acidity and a soothingly round feel as herbal tones resonate over a wave of dark red fruits. This wine tapers off with a pleasantly bitter tinge yet remains fresh, leaving a tart wild berry twang.

It shows ample black and red berry fruits but is really driven by a savoury tone from start to finish. Aromas of fir tips, smoked cedar plank and and classic notes of red currant and Fleshy berries jump on the fore palate, with lingering notes of savoury bay leaf, mint and dried thyme. Glinting graphite buoys the fresh black fruits, all tied together with a smoky, saline finish.
