This wine starts out with a nice core of dark berry fruits that draw late into the palate. When the tannins take over they are broad in appeal, with loads of cassis and black fruit flavors. Red and black currants, floral and incense detail gives the palate lots of pop and energy. In all, the key here is that you have a Cabernet Sauvignon that offers immediate drinking pleasure, and it does slide down all a little too easy. For those who are patient it will offer more rewards with 5+ years in a good cellar.
