Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon gives pronounced notes of crushed blackcurrant, dried mint, Mediterranean herbs and pencil lead with a faint touch of cloves. Full bodied with a good concentration of juicy blackcurrant and mint flavors, it has lively acid and a medium to firm level of grainy tannins, finishing long. Drink it now through 2015.
