The fruit for this wine was harvested at an optimal level of ripeness in mid-October. The berries were hand-harvested at night, carefully sorted and destemmed to tank, where fermentation took place. Then, the wine was racked to 100% new French oak barrels, where it was aged for 26 months prior to bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stunning, deep ruby wine presents a harmonious bouquet that overflows with sweet plum, blueberry jam and dark black cherry, intertwined with touches of mocha, allspice, sweet vanilla and sandalwood. The palate is exquisitely plush, filling the mouth with flavors of ripe raspberry, blackberry pie and juicy plum, supported by a framework of smooth tannins and touches of toasted oak, dark baking cocoa and spun caramel that remain through the long, elegant finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its captivating complexity and stellar balance, this Cabernet is the star of any meal it accompanies. A substantial yet simple dish such as a dry-aged New York strip steak with parmesan potato gratin and sautéed long beans would pair fabulously with this wine. For a memorable cheese course, pair it with extra aged Beemster, a nutty cow’s milk cheese from Holland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, 3% Merlot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"std\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"pipSecContent_headline\"\u003eCritic Ratings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_authorName\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Parker Wine Advocate Review - Rated 98:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Cabernet-led blend is deeply colored and aromatic, with charcoal, asphalt and graphite surrounding blueberry, blackberry and cassis. The palate is large-scaled and highly concentrated, yet the layers of fruit remain balanced and the oak stays discreet. A long, moderately tannic finish gives it the structure for several more decades of development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling Review - Rated 94:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe wine is generous and dense, with a tight structure that is beginning to relax.
