Full-bodied, it features a framework of elongated, supple tannins, creamy black cherry fruits, dark plum jam, mocha, and a cool wet slate character on the lengthy finish.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Legacy Collection features gently herbal aromas and a solid base of cassis fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, ripe, concentrated and velvety on the palate, with good length, plus flourishes of vanilla and cedar on the finish.

A plump, inviting style, with plum and black cherry compote notes leading off, backed by roasted apple wood and a hint of licorice root. Shoes nice freshness on the finish.
Winemaker Notes
This stunning wine boasts an expressive nose that immediately captivates the senses. On the palate, the wine opens up with complex layers of dried red fruit and hints of cigar box. A subtle hint of wet stone adds a unique touch to the overall experience. The wine's medium to full body creates a beautiful balance between the fruit and tannin structure. The finish is simply divine, with a touch of cocoa dust that lingers on the palate long after the last sip.
