2000 Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a stylish Cabernet from a warm generous vintage. The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon shows an elegant slightly restrained nose of black currants and cassis in a spicy oak background. The flavors follow suit with hints of black cherry. Supple yet focused on the palate with a lingering varietals defined. This wine drinks nicely now and will improve for 5+ years.
