2013 Sugarloaf Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

A deep purple to ruby as it approaches the edge of the glass, this wine is quite visually remarkable. Sweet aromas of vanilla, cassis, black cherry and baking spices are marked in the nose along with notes of violets, licorice, earth, and cigar box. Rich layers of currant, blackberry and kirsch mingle on the palate as they meet a solid core of balanced acidity and very fine tannins. This wine is full bodied, plush and opulent with big structure but can be enjoyed now given sufficient air, or cellared to develop further and enjoy in the coming years.
