Medium-deep garnet-purple in color, the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon has pronounced aromas of warm blackcurrant, cloves, blackberry compote and a touch of menthol. Full bodied with very crisp acidity, it has a medium to firm level of grainy tannins, a good amount of ripe fruit and a long minty finish. Drinkable now, it should hold its fruit to 2015.
