Awarded 93 points by The Tasting Panel, it’s a wine that leaves a lasting impression—especially when shared during fall’s cozy gatherings and harvest feasts.

Tasting Notes
The nose opens with enticing aromas of blueberry, cedar, and a subtle hint of basil, giving way to deeper notes of leather and slate. On the palate, rich dark fruit flavors are complemented by a touch of balsamic, adding complexity and depth. The wine’s silky tannins create a luxurious mouthfeel, while the finish delivers a satisfying kick of spice that lingers long after each sip. The careful oak aging imparts layers of vanilla, toast, and refined tannins, making this Cabernet both bold and elegant.

Fall Pairing Suggestions
This Cabernet pairs beautifully with autumn’s hearty, comforting dishes. Try it with braised short ribs, herb-crusted lamb, or roasted venison to echo its depth and structure. It also shines alongside truffle pasta, wild mushroom risotto, or rosemary-roasted root vegetables. For cheese pairings, savor it with aged cheddar, blue cheese, or smoked gouda. Whether enjoyed around a harvest table or by the fireside, this Cabernet brings layered richness and timeless elegance to every fall occasion.
