Tasting Note:August 16, 2016

This is the baby we were waiting for! Dark purplish, violet red with high intensity. It complete coats the glass. Loaded dark fruits on the nose with cassis, dark berries and a little blue berries. Same with the palate loaded with creme de cassis, blue and black berries. Well integrated tannins (6.5/10) and silky, super extracted and plush. Full bodied and long finish. Super approachable and stunning Cabernet Sauvignon from Palmer.

Aged for 24 months in 75% new French oak barrels.
