Our Cabernet Sauvignon is planted on an elevated slope that is rich in red loamy and limestone soils. The historic vineyard is low yielding and consistently of the highest quality. The assemblage of the top tier French oak barriques occurs after the Cabernet Sauvignon has been matured for 10 months to offer softness to the ripe primary fruit and to gain complexity. The Cabernet Sauvignon displays concentrated black forest fruits with fine grain tannins to the fore.
Intense aromas of black forest fruits, concentrated black olive and mulberry create a delicious, warm complexity in this Hunter Cabernet.
