description: The 40% new French oak dominates right now, releasing refined aromas of char, cedar, cigar box and vanilla. Below that are profoundly ripe scents of cassis, black currants, mocha, herbs and minerals. Quite dry and tannic, but so powerful are the flavors and so balanced is the wine that it should easily negotiate the next 10 years. Decant now and serve with roasts, grills.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: T.R. Passalacqua Vineyard
