Tobacco and black cherry exemplify the aromas of this easy drinking 2015Sawbuck Cabernet Sauvignon. The classic bouquet in the nose carries over to the juicy, herbal flavors on the palate with a touch of cigar box, cherry tobacco and a hint of red licorice. Dusty tannins set off some barrel spice and woody characters for a long, lingering finish.
Winemaker Notes
Cabernet sauvignon from our Dunnigan Hills vineyards define this blend. We also blended in a healthy amount of petit verdot (14%), our Dunnigan Hills petite sirah (4%) and syrah (1%) to lengthen the flavors and add depth and concentration. Sonoma County merlot (4%) rounds out this blend to add soft tannins and elegance.
