The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage Selection has a deep garnet-purple color and features exuberant notes of crushed black cherries, mulberries and blackcurrant cordial with touches of unsmoked cigars, menthol, yeast extract and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, concentrated and opulent in the mouth, it has a solid line of plush tannins and plenty of backbone freshness to lift the generous fruit to a long fruity finish.

This pumps out lots of warm plum, fig and boysenberry reduction notes, along with Turkish coffee and bittersweet cocoa details, giving this a dark and brooding sense. Reveals a smoldering charcoal echo on the finish. Drink now through 2029. 1,400 cases made.
