A deep purple saturated hue, this Cabernet Sauvignon's intense aromas and generous, fruit flavors are full to the brim with layers of juicy blackberry, dark plum and black licorice, woven in to the warmed baking spice notes of nutmeg, anise and clove alongside subtle brambly or savage (hence the grape's name) wild herb bay leaf, mocha and sarsaparilla notes on the lengthy, mouthwatering finish. The wine is vibrant and balanced, with beautiful lifted acidity interwoven into a Cabernet of great intensity. Full, focused and rich flavors are supported by firm, yet supple, tannins that are nicely balanced with the oak spice from new French oak barrels.

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 4 displays a deep garnet-purple color and classic notes of crème de cassis, baked plums, cedar chest and pencil lead with hints of mocha, clove oil, menthol and beef drippings. The medium to full-bodied palate has fantastic harmony and depth, featuring layers of blackcurrant and blackberry preserves with a solid frame of grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and oh-so-spicy. 635 cases were made.
