Natalie's Score: 93/100

This complex and seductive BC Cabernet brings up the rear, so to speak. There's a superbly long finish and excellent structure that the best of Cabernet delivers. This wine was aged in 65% new oak barrels for smoky, toasty richness wrapping itself around back fruit. Finishes with clove and sage and a strong desire to have more. Pair with rare meats.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: romano carbonara with fresh bucatini; baked eggplant parmigiana; flat iron steak with arugula, radicchio, and grana padano.

Reviews and Ratings

A classic expression of Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of ripe blackberry, fresh sage, and cloves accented by a floral lift. The refined palate is mineral driven with a supple texture, bright currant flavours,
and well-balanced toasted oak. The finish is long, charming, and persistent.
