Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon presents notes of creme de cassis, mocha, violets and cherry compote with just a touch of cloves. Full bodied, vibrant and generously fruited in the mouth, it has a medium to firm level of grainy tannins, refreshing acid and a long finish. Drinking now, it should remain good to 2016+.
